    I don’t think you understand how copyrights work

      They are idealizing a pay-the-creator system. They are arguing for a system that is kinda coming together with patreon-like stuff.

      You seem to be arguing that people will just buy the cheapest identical copy. Which is hard to argue against, but there are people out there that pay creators that give their work for free. Copyright law certainly protects creators. But it’s cool to see some creators monetizing on open-licensed work.

          Yeah, kinda. I forgot which side of the argument the reply I replied to was on. I guess you can just flip the "you"s and "they"s. Or am I still off-base?
