I'm talking about all creative works being derivative not in the legal sense
but in the sense of stuff building on what came before...
I agree (for the fourth time).
are you trying to change the meaning around to be in the legal sense when you
say "You must at least accept that an exact copy is not an original
derivative work"?
I am not trying to change any meaning. I have agreed that Art is derivative
(now for the fifth time) since the beginning. I simply want to talk about a
topic that is unrelated to whether Art is derivative or not (it is): exact
copies and diffusions. Making an exact copy or diffusing such a copy is not
Art, right? So rules applying to businesses doing so do not depend on
whether Art is derivative, right?
The planet I described, with Netflix, Spotify, iTunes, the Kindle store,
movie theaters, radio/TV channels, night clubs, etc., is the one we actually
live on. Today. And, today, artists make money (although not enough)
through exact copies or diffusions.
I've never mentioned the existence of any emergency. That word exists only in
your posts.
I advocate for all artistic works to become freely modifiable and
commercially usable 5-10 years after the original publication. You answer:
no, it must be from day 1. Conclusion: for you, there exists an emergency.
In today's world, Netflix, Spotify & co. would be the main beneficiaries of
your proposal. On the contrary, a five or ten-year delay would not make much
difference: those actors mainly diffuse recent works and would give back to
artists almost as much as today (more if the redistribution is improved).
@jxself: you disappointed me. Instead of acknowledging our divergence like I
did at the beginning of
https://trisquel.info/forum/question-about-free-gnulinux-distributions#comment-112565
you pretend (and repeat despite my clear denial) that I consider Art as
non-derivative, that I want a copyright that go in the way of original works
(e.g., new episodes of Mimi and Eunice), you accuse me of changing the
meaning of what you say, you ignore my points (where is that mythical
hairdresser?, or a better example to make your point?), you misuse Stallman's
quotes, you rely on irony, etc. I did not expect that.
