[QUOTE="R_Chance, post: 7756329, member: 55149"] Agreed. Chairs and novels will be judged in the market and bought or not. But their are differences besides the material / immaterial nature of the "product". Chairs can be popped out pretty quickly. Songs and novels not so much. They take quite a bit of time to "produce" and may take even longer to sell. So, to make a living off your effort you need to support yourself for quite a while on the current product until your next "product" comes down the pike. I have this weird idea that if I like a novel, song, etc. I want the author / artist to be able to produce more. Not run off to become a carpenter so he can eat. I find it fairly irritating that people think they should have near instant (a few years is pretty much that in a field that could require years of effort to produce one product) access to the ideas of others, and be able to exploit them, because they are alive when it was produced. Part of some social group that magically contributes to the concept. Everything we do, think, and produce is based on the past and produced in the present, whether it a chair or a novel. Does that mean we all own everything together in some socialist world order? No thank you. You can debate the duration of IP rights and protections (and I think lifetime plus a set number of years is reasonable), but it's ludicrous to make these assumptions of group ownership based on your existing. *sigh*. I better stop now. Obviously, this annoys me... quite a bit. [/QUOTE]
