While that sounds profoundly sensible, it doesn't take into account that every creator has to borrow from the culture that surrounds them and from what has been created before to create something 'new'.

Ugh... it's complicated.

@Remittancegirl @kirch @duncanlock It's not nearly as complicated as some want to make it.

No, I think a lot of creators simply don't want to recognize the debt they owe to the mass of cultural production that has influenced them and made their own work possible.

And I do recognize the moral rights that creators want to claim. It feels like one's baby, and one doesn't want it used it ways that reflect poorly on the author, or do the creator out of a living.

But it IS complicated.
