No one has a natural right to have their work protected by copyright. Copyright is supposed to be a deal to encourage creativity _and_ benefit the public domain.
Capitalists have distorted it to be a means to pay the producers (ie capital holders) over-and-over whilst eroding the public domain.
The default position is if you (a creator) make a work available anyone can copy it, alter it, resell it for free. I don't think that is right, but what we currently have is IMO not a sufficient benefit to the public.
- scarface_74 1y agoWhy would I spend time producing something if I don’t get paid for it? If you want the public to benefit from something you create, you have the right to go out there and spend your own money to doing so The open source movement didn’t ask to get other people to write stuff and give it away. I’m assuming you don’t work for free, why should creators?
