> They forget that copyright is part of a social contract. In its original form, it was something like this: >> we'll pretend your work is scarce so that you can make money >> after a while, it will enter the public domain That is not even close to the original form of copyright. In its original form, copyright was a monopoly held by the crown (and granted to printers) for the purpose of censoring works the crown didn't want published. |
