The legal ruling against the Internet Archive has come down in favour of the rights of authors.

    I think you severely underestimate the greed of corporations. If there was no copyright whatsoever there would nothing to stop, for example, amazon not publishing the new novel by a middling author and instead selling their own version where they take all the profit.

      I didnt disagree with that part. Youre missing the part where theres nothing stopping fans from giving the author money instead.

              Stolen before its ever been published? I think yall are getting tripped up with thinking corporations can see the future and can steal something that will become successful but has not yet been discovered by any readers. If its successful enough to be stolen, its already successful.
