Nobody has a moral right to be reimbursed for the costs they incurred to produce an original work. If they produce it under a contract then they have a contractual right to be paid as stipulated in the contract.
- jeremyjh 3y agoWe aren't talking about moral rights, we are talking about incentives to produce the work in the first place.
- vcg3rd 3y agoWhere did I write one has a moral right to reimbursement? Your inferences are you own. Let me restate what I clearly and obviously wrote: The history professor has no moral obligation to give his book away digitally. The person I replied to stated unequivocally that people deserve free stuff if it cost nothing. I refuted both that argument and the argument that anything is distributed, let alone produced, without cost. Is that clear enough or do you want to build another strawman?
