Why don't we just abolish copyright ?
No - because those of us who create content want to be able to say no to
other people just taking our work and making money from it, I want to
keep my images as all rights reserved. I don't want you using them to
advertise your agenda, your poster on a wall for teenage students, your
happy image for tots.
If you want to do any of those things I want you to have to talk to me
first and discuss it.
That is what copyright gives me, and I do not want to loose control of
my creative work.
You may have a different view of copyright but that is my view of some
of the benefits of copyright.
Sure,
You may want that, I want want lots of things but why should society
respect what you want ? any more than they respect what I want ?
Why should you be able to control the actions of other people ?
