Well, as not every book is a textbook, I'd say quite a lot of what I've read never went to any kind of knowledge in my head at all. But I reckon the author still deserves to eat.
- TeMPOraL 3mo agoYou too deserve to eat. Does it mean we're all supposed to pay you in perpetuity for that HN comment you just posted, because we read it and it's encoded in our brains now?
- shakna 3mo agoNo... But as we're discussing people who tried to pay nothing... Maybe they should have just bought the books in the first place. And comparing my single sentence on HN, to the hundreds of millions ingested, does suggest that maybe scale changes something. Like most things said on social media, not being copyrightable.
- pishpash 3mo agoDoes buying the book not count? Why in perpetuity? Even patents expire after 17 years.
