Show me a truly original creative work and I'll side with you, but since nearly every creative work is derivative in one form or another, it is important to have a large public domain to draw "inspiration" from.
- sethrin 14y agoI wrote an opera in a language I made up, using a scale and chords of my own invention, which obviously can only be played on instrumentation that I have devised. It's very nice, but now I need to find some viewers who have been kept in sensory deprivation their entire lives in order to truly detach my work from cultural context. Whenever that happens I am sure I will sell many tickets. No creative work has value unless it is substantially derivative.
