>>105946433Itโs an unfortunate reality, but itโs undeniable that if, say, I spend 1,000 hours writing a series of novels, 50 pajeets buy copies and make storefronts offering to sell copies of my book as they can now reproduce it, Iโm probably never going to spend time trying to write novels for a living again. We only have so much time on earth, and to say that all creative and digital pursuits need to just be an open source hobby is ridiculous, weโd never see the technological innovation weโve seen if concepts of ownership and intellectual property didnโt apply. In the US where I live, the society and the government would unironically collapse without some version of copyright, as we would lose the incentive structure to create for profit and fall behind other countries as our most money motivated start creating in foreign nations. Not everything can be a charity crowd source.
