We did embrace it. We passed laws to embrace and encourage the creation of new ideas. It's called copyright. It works pretty well when enforced. Less well when it's not. There may be choices that are even better. Policy proposals are welcome.
- quadrangle 11y agoCopyright has never worked well.
- forrestthewoods 11y agoSure it has. Copyright has worked reasonably well for a variety of content creators. Authors are on that list. By extension it's worked well for content consumers because those creators were enabled to create more content to be consumed. There's plenty of discussion to be had on improving copyright. Making it better. I think it's definitely been an net benefit.
- quadrangle 11y agoWe don't have that much to compare to, not a lot of control counter-cases. The entire premise that copyright helps authors can be actually questioned. http://questioncopyright.org/promise http://questioncopyright.org/promise
