      I have talked about copyright in "moral" terms before, the moral right to control your work, the "right to be forgotten", etc, and while I do think that's a factor I think I was mostly reacting to what I perceive as obnoxious entitlement from the other side

      Like yeah it is pretty fucking rude to tell an author "You have no claim on your work, you're nothing but an 'idea landlord', everything you write belongs to the people" But ultimately the principle isn't important, the money is

      Like yeah you hear about high-profile cases of some individual creator making an ass of themselves trying to kill a popular fanfic or whatever but those are famous because they're rare

      Most creators, if you made the offer, would probably happily take "A guaranteed living wage for your labor and a fair price for the value your work brings to others" in return for "You can now never, ever sue someone for doing some offensive fanfic of your work again"

          Hell, that IS the deal people make, when they enter work-for-hire agreements with those big corporations

          It's weird that people talk about how much it sucks that to pay the bills people have to sell off those rights to Disney or EA or whoever, but then argue they should've never had them to sell in the first place

          the library of alexandria is hard to compare to modern stuff because copying books was extremely labor-intensive back then, but it's also worth mentioning that they grew their collection by confiscating any books carried by ships that entered their port.

          I always figure fanfic happens. And fanfiction is where a lot of writers get a chance to develop. How many great giants of today began with telling stories of Winnie the Pooh in their own way?
