#1340·Dennis Hackethal, 7 months ago‘Lawbreakers get away with it all the time so it’s fine.’ How is that an argument?
Just that if it was so crucial for innovation then you'd expect innovation to suffer from all the copyright infringement that is going on.
#1339·Dennis Hackethal, 7 months ago‘To stop someone from murdering you you have to infringe on his private property by claiming an exclusive right on prohibiting his use of his privately owned gun to shoot you’ How is that different?
Murdering someone destroys their scarce property (their body in this case). Copying something using your own property leaves the original totally untouched.
All that being said, I think crediting people for inspiration is good form and should be part of common polite behavior.
Copyright is routinely violated without consequences anyway.
To keep someone from copying your work you have to infringe on the private property of that person by claiming an exclusive right on prohibiting his use of his privately owned copying medium to instantiate a certain pattern.
Intellectual property is a contradiction in terms because information isn't scarce the same way that private property necessarily must be.
