It’s interesting how the exact same technology can appear as good or evil depending on whom it benefits. The idea of a publisher making money on “used” ebooks seems rather dystopian, yet the same mechanism is being experimented with in the art world. Currently, the original artist makes nothing when his work is resold years later by dealers or museums.
- soco 4y agoYou mean, experimented in the NFT world?
- nicbou 4y agoI'm against both. A sale is a sale. You don't need a cut of a transaction you took no part in. The farmer doesn't get a cut of every dish served. However it appears especially evil here because it affects the unwilling participants of a market. Accessing books is a lot more important than owning art.
