>The problem is that you assume that author must be a job, while I do not believe that they should be particularly protected. There will be less of them and its not necessarily a bad thing. If you wanna get paid get funding beforehand.

So you end with victim blaming? They can sell their art however they want, for whatever price they want. And traditional capitalism say they will succeed or fail based upon those dynamics. Theft is a factor that well, cheats the entire system.

I think it's ironic you have such a stance on a web site made for getting that exact funding. You think those VC's are funding stuff that can be easily stolen and produce no profits back for them?

If they can sell their work without copyright, all good for them. It is not my fault if ideas can be indefinitely copied without anybody noticing. I am just saying that this is not worth monitoring.

Ideas should just not be treated the same as physical properties. They aren't. The market will adapt.
