But they don’t make so little because of too little copyright. They do so for a variety of reasons, including: - people simply don’t buy their things, whether or not there is copyright on something with zero sales will not improve matter. - strong copyright does not help authors/artists when the publishers require them to sign it all over. It’s like giving your bullied kid more lunch money, no amount will be enough if the bully simply takes it all.
