Does not prevent existing copyrighted art to be build so does not look like an issue to me. It makes derivative work difficult or impossible. Authors prefer to be paid for their work? Let me ask you - if you had not been paid for whatever you do, would you continue doing that or found other, more productive occupation? As somebody who is being paid for creating copyrighted work I can assure you - I would not work for free, I'd do something else. I understand and agree. What I don't understand is why we need copyright protection. For the people who are protected by it? That borders on rent-seeking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking
