I think this should be an axiom which should be respected by any copyright rule.
- joquarky 2y agoYou are correct, but the real problem is that copyright needs complete reform. Let's not forget the basis: > [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries. Is our current implementation of copyright promoting the progress of science and useful arts? Or will science and the useful arts be accelerated by culling back the current cruft of copyright laws? For example, imagine if copyright were non-transferable and did not permit exclusive licensing agreements.
