And books.
I find it amusing that you reduced the works of Greek and Roman philosophers and poets, the entire Renaissance, the whole Library of Alexandria and indeed, the Bible, to "practically nothing."
I fail to see how, say, the Nth installment of Marvel movies is somewhat more worthy than all of that.
Movies which, I might add, are already hugely profitable, even though they're massively pirated.
- badpun 4y agoThe OP was talking about "being entertained" - very few of the older works were written to entertain.
- senko 4y agoApart from being inconsequential (copyright makes no distinction between products for entertainment or otherwise), this is also incorrect. Here are just a few examples off the top of my head, to whet your appetite: - The OG superhero story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_Gilgamesh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_Gilgamesh - A fairly popular adventure story you might have heard about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey - This one even has "comedy" in its name, if you needed convincing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy
