That is what I said too.
You can work for food. You can work so they'll reciprocate and work for you. That's the barter system. Otherwise, it's money ! If you have another form of compensation, I'd like to hear it ?
Happiness. Satisfaction. Pride. Not everything in this world is material gain. I programed long before I did so as a career, and will continue to do so long after. Money has nothing to do with it. I work in programming only because it pays well. If it didn't, I'd flip burgers for a living and still write free software in my off time.
But until a system becomes available that fulfills this promsie, we are stuck with the one we have.But its not.the nly one. Shakespear didn't have copyright. Da Vinci didn't. Michelangelo didn't. Copyright is a very modern idea- the last 200 years or so. Art exists without it.
And every one of them had benefactors who paid them for their work.
With the addition of copyright, they would have now had the opportunity to control their work. IMHO, it's an advancement.
