Family recipes are kept secret.
If you don't want to share your knowledge, the solution is simple.
Once you've put it out there, it becomes a tiny piece of human culture that can be referenced and discussed, and ultimately reproduced.
Just because an artist releases a work to the world, doesn't mean they have any natural rights to own what the culture does with it.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoPeople have a secret but still share it while withholding some knowledge. They risk someone reverse engineering it, but it's still being monetized. Whats the difference here? Have idea, share some of it, monetize it from peope who want to use it, later on it's a free for all or enough knowledge comes to easily reverse engineer it anyway. ^Just because an artist releases a work to the world, doesn't mean they have any natural rights to own what the culture does with it. No natural right, no. But humans are greedy, tragedy of the commons, etc. So governments made copyright to protect those artists. It's been, as usual, perverted by the people who least need that protection, but the idea is still sound. In a world of greed, give the creators time to be greedy so they can make a living off their own work. Then later on its a free for all.
