>or does it simply enrich heirs? This was one of the original arguments in favor of copyright, except in reverse, as the poverty of heirs was an argument in favor of copyright: When, in 1749, Thomas Newton's (1704-1782) edition of P

Publishing is generally speculative, and the common perception of "the author" as an ordinary individual with an interesting expression of an idea is inaccurate. A more useful analogue is "student who has just taken out a loa
