If someone makes money off a copyrighted work, the copyright holder deserves to be paid.
- gnaritas 13y agoNo they don't; they might legally be required to pay, but legal != deserves. Copyright and patent laws are wrong and create artificial scarcity to create a monopoly where there should be none. Just because something is the law does not make it just or right; they don't deserve anything.
- sanswork 13y agoSo you would do away with all non-physical trade?
- gnaritas 13y agoWhere did I say or imply this?
- sanswork 13y ago"Copies are not theft and the artist doesn't deserve anything."
- gnaritas 13y agoThat doesn't imply what you seem to think it implies.
- sanswork 13y agoThen clarify because so far all you've done is said "People don't deserve this! Copying isn't stealing. They shouldn't get paid for this" then when anyone challenges you they get the reply "Thats not what I meant" or some snarky comment about their comprehension.
- gnaritas 13y agoClarify what. I could send you a bitcoin, look, non-phisical trade. If you want to critique something, it's up to you to make a clear critique, not me to figure out what you mean when the words you wrote are trivially and obviously false. When you infer I mean things I didn't say, it's not snarky to point out I didn't say that or mean that. I said what I meant, deciphering meaning was not an exercise left for the reader, it's right there in the words I wrote.
