If the majority of customers for a given book are libraries and whatnot then it's no longer viable to make such a work. Mind you, I still think the whole thing is broken at its core and that we'd be better off if it were abolished, but would that sort of major change in incentives qualify as a moral difference?
- visarga 4y agoThe internet 'hates copyright', it wants to link everything up. Search hates copyright, can't work unless everything is open to indexing. Now the AI hates it even more, gobbling up everything ever written or imaged and creating derivatives at the click of a button. I don't think copyright has a future, the general trend is against it. Graphical artists have already realised it only takes a second to imitate any style or content. What's the point of copyrighting a book when anyone can generate any text just for their own use, when it's so cheap and fast we throw away the result after one use?
