    This kind of thing is why the "free culture" movement from when I was in college was so utterly unsuccessful at winning over the hearts and minds of the vast majority of working artistshttps://twitter.com/JoshuaYJackson/status/1244269783610265605 …

    Super rich author Chuck Wendig is crying that poor people might be able read his third rate books for free online. What a loser. He should be grateful to be published. https://twitter.com/ChuckWendig/status/1244011591395356672 …

        Whatever the merits of anti-copyright philosophy in the abstract, if you yourself are a middle-class consumer who is acting out of the selfish desire to torrent games for free, and you treat everyone skeptical of your views as a millionaire parasite, people won't like you

        What's also telling is that people like this know very little about the economics of the industries they're mad at, especially from the POV of the average content creator, and yet speak with incredible sneering confidence about themhttps://twitter.com/JoshuaYJackson/status/1244281460548415488?s=19 …

        I mean it’s not hard to imagine given he has major publishing deals. Or are you seriously saying he’s not well off

        I used to be someone like this, and I was convinced I was full of shit largely because of how few people on my side were at all serious about figuring out how to address objections from people pretty damn sure piracy was hurting their livelihoodhttps://twitter.com/JoshuaYJackson/status/1244280369240846336?s=19 …

        Internet Archive is not the reason why authors don’t get paid more money. People reading ebooks is not why publishers don’t pay more. Downloading books is not why it’s hard to make a career as an author. The problems of the independent author are not caused by online books. Sorry

        Like it's an undeniable fact at this point that money has vanished out of the whole media industry with a giant sucking sound and as a result the industry is massively polarized now between an aristocratic 1% making Marvel movies and a vast majority making literally nothing

        And the idea that putting out a tip jar or selling merch would replace the vast majority of royalty checks that no longer exist - or be even better! Look at Penny Arcade! - has totally flopped

        The people who look like big successes on the Internet are making decent middle class livings, the people who look like decent mid-level successes are making no money at all and can't quit their day job, and the vast majority of people working aren't visible or successful at all

        And the response to this is "It's always been like this" and the response to that from a lot of people who lived through the transition from the 90s to the 2000s is "No it's objectively worse" Look at how many newspapers and magazines have closed

        Ask anyone about how "top-heavy" the culture industry has become - if you're not making a Marvel movie or a K-pop album owned by a giant corporation with an army of lawyers to protect your investment you're fucked

        Artists gotta eat. I don’t understand the argument that people should be entitled to free *entertainment* publications. Like scholarly articles, encyclopedias, sure, but music or comic books? The copyright exists so that people can make a living.

        That said I do think the current *length* of copyright protection is too long. Things shouldn’t still be under copyright decades after the creator has died of old age.
