The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you’ve already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

    I’m saying that those who create are entitled to the value of what they create. If a company asks to look iver some of your work before hiring you, says that they aren’t interested, and then you see them using that work afterwards i doubt you would be saying “well, information should be free”.

    If you want to write stories, draw pictures, make movies or webshows and distribute then for free ti everyone, then that’s a noble initiative, but creatives depend on what they create for their livelyhood.

      Here I was thinking we all deserved a giant meteor.

      The publisher example is one of a difference in power and you’re saying that IP is there to protect the author. Except this whole video is about how that doesn’t happen anymore. The law is written and litigated by those with power.

      That happens already.

      If the situation is reversed, the hammer comes down on the independent artist.

      We need stronger worker and consumer protections. Copywrite is a shit solution.
