Honestly, copyright is shit. It is created on the basis of an old way of doing things. That is, where big editors and big studios make mass productions of physical copies of a said ‘product’. George R. R. Martin , Warner Studios & co are rich. Maybe they have everything to lose without their copy’right’ but that isn’t the population’s problem. We live in an era where everything is digital and easily copiable and we might as well start acting like it.
I don’t care if Sam Altman is evil, this discussion is fundamental.
How did GRRM get rich again?
oh yeah he sold books he worked on for decades, totally the same WB.
He didn’t just sell books, he got signed by editors who published him worldwide. That’s what I’m talking about. He was ‘chosen’ by the market.
You can be picked up by every single editor on the planet, if your books are shit you ain’t selling them.
People who cry about copyright are either creatively bankrupt or leeches who believe artists shouldn’t be paid for their work.
