And how do you reconcile your view with modern software development? Let me guess, software is different because it requires “maintenance”? How convenient that most creatives except software developers result in having to give away their stuff lol. Also the “contract” you’re referring to doesn’t seem to be rooted in any law, but rather your opinion.
