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.
Yes. I mean that copyright just protects those people that were selected by the industry. I don’t mind paying for the artist’s work. But I still think it should be DRM free and easily distributable - so people can support the artist if they like the work.

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.
Dude, the Twilight series is right there.
They work for a certain audience.
Yes, people who like shit books. They’re still shit books and they still sold fucktons of copies.
It’s a good book for these people. If you think it doesn’t take talent to do it, feel free to go for it, and enjoy your easy money.
I do not understand what point you’re making. Can you elaborate?
