it might be no big deal to link to one pirated short story - but multiply that times the internet and writers are getting shafted out of royalties. You can say arthur clarke has passed on - but part of the way he was rewarded in his life was through licensing the copyright of his works to publishers, and copyright extends to 50 years after death, last time i checked. and diminishing publishers' ability to make money off their licensed works diminishes our ability as a society to support artists in their work. I see support for nytimes here vs. chatgpt - isn't that the same thing as this, just on a different scale?
