reading the first page. all i can say is that beliathon and arnold chippy.
if you ever take hours making a song, you should only in your whole live be paid $0.008 (spotify's revenue from one listener) and then the song should be made free because that listener copied it?
code a program/website.. and maybe get $8-$50, just once..
your own opinions means that you wont make more then minimum wage for the hours you initially put into it. and then thats it.. no more income, ever
do you honestly think that activision should only get 1 payment of $50 for call of duty... and then the rest of the 7billion people dont have to pay because that single person that bought it, then copied it 7 billion times
do you really think that teams of hundreds of people working for over a year on the game should get a split of only $50 (meaning each employee is only paid a couple cents for a years work)....
seriously, is that your mindset?
Why create a special set of rules that benefit writers/musicians etc? Let them have that as a hobby and do productive work for a job, just like everyone else.
I design and make mechanical components, so who do I run to when my work's copied?
Apparently, the author JK Rowling is now worth ~ $1 Billion...
...I mean, come on, for that sh*te?
If writers and musicians can elevate their art to a degree
that others are willing to pay for it, then it is just
as valuable and productive as anything else.
It sounds like you are jealous... that an author can create
a book than thousands or millions of people would willingly
pay money for in the marketplace,
and that they will be
rewarded for their **effort**.Saying I sound jealous is just a way to avoid answering the legitimate points that have been raised.
Yes, rewarded for their effort and not some superimposed fancy legal wording that can impose an offence on someone for reading and listening.
