What rights do you believe content creators should have? Most discussions I've seen suggest content creators ought to have fewer rights, not more rights.

The absurd lengths of time for copyright come to mind. This idea that the family of an author, for example, ought to be entitled to royalties from book sales for many years after the author's death... That's a right enjoyed by no other profession or trade or job. It puts authors in a category with land owners and capitalists.

Personally, I think we should be seeking to reduce the amount of rent-seeking in our society, not increase it. That we glorify so many creators as celebrities and obsess over every minor detail of their lives makes my position an unpopular one, however.

So children of the rich who own stocks cannot inherit those stocks?

Oh, ownership. What a terrible idea!

Maybe educate yourself on the existing arguments instead of expecting other people to do it for you?
