 Copyright is not a human right but a statutory privilege created to incentivize creativity and innovation. It exists to benefit both creators and society, with built-in limitations to ensure the public can eventually access and use creative works freely. Unlike inalienable rights, copyright is temporary and conditional, existing solely within the framework of the law. It's not even a right, much less a Human Right! 5 comments
If your intent is to drop moral bombs without serious engagement, chances are that you're going to have to keep your morals to yourself. Understanding the vast difference between moral particularity, and our actually existing legal systems in the open and free world would be a necessary condition for a fruitful discussion. No amount of brutal maximalism is going to resolve that tension.  @vruz @duncanlock A moral right is a statutory reference originating from the french droite moral where they were very advanced in their protection of creators. Do they sell soap boxes at the Anfield gift shop? You appear to be barely able to read Latin characters, your bad faith is only comparable to your ignorance and your lack of curiosity in the real world. Fuck you and fuck off, idiot. The rightful destiny of mankind is to fund the lavish lifestyles of the fifth generation of descendents of the genuinely creative original authors. |

@vruz @duncanlock It is by definition a right to copy that comes with a moral right to be named as the author and for the work not to be used in a derogatory way and the majority of material created is not bought by corporations and horded or even generates a revenue. For any revenue to be created the copyright must be licensed or assigned and the moral rights waived. The fruit of intellectual labour should be protected and it is a right whether it took the author 10 minutes or 10 years.
