I've seen the group beat this poor ex-horse so many times....This is one of
those topics that is so political that it can never be solved so all I'll
say is:
Every creative thing that has been done by anyone... has been done by
someone else before to greater or lesser extent. Our World Religions, our
Cultural Customs, the sociological makeup of World Society, our Music, our
written works, our art. All of it is built upon the utilization of previous
generations efforts. We all tap into the same creative universal brain soup.
Should a creator receive credit for what he does? Absolutely. Should he
reap the rewards of his creation? Of course. Should we use other people's
work without crediting it? Hell no, nor should we reap a financial reward
from it. Should we have to pay some ungodly fee for the use of said material
in a vlog that may have a circulation of 100 or less people? I think not.
Should we have to pay some kind of fee at all? Hmmmm a better question
is... if we Had no choice but to pay for it... would we use it? Then comes
our moment of truth as to whether it is necessary... or... easy.
Are we ever going to agree on this? Goodness no... if we did we'd have
nothing to keep our blood warm during the cold winter months. Debate is
good for the soul.
The true peeve comes when people lose their ability to be civil to each
other in the process.
There is never a reason to be unkind to each other if we do not allow
ourselves to be emotionally invested in the matter open for debate.
Okay.. I'm done now... commencing to shutting up.
