Because it frequently isn't knowledge that is being spread, it's a creative work.
There's nothing intrinsic about Harry Potter that the world needs access to it. An encyclopedia would be a great thing to be freely available. But why would someone need free access to Harry Potter?
- throw10920 4y agoYup, and piracy advocates make no distinction between the two - there's an argument "everyone deserves access to knowledge!" (ignoring the fact that everyone does have access to knowledge, just not specific literary renderings of it) and then they swap out "knowledge" for "any written work". Intellectual dishonesty.
