In my mind that stymies the advancement of culture, of art. To advance society we need to build upon the work of the past, each generation standing on the shoulders of past generations.

Copyright is what allows an open culture to emerge. As an author, you have the control of what and how people are allowed to use and reuse your creations.

To get open culture, you need the culture, and this goes by respecting people and their work, which means respecting copyright. The open parts is dealt with licenses, not with absence of copyright.

That is why, AI crations, that are disrespectfully stealing from creative work, cannot ever be (open) culture.

I'm all in on the former two planks and 100% opposed to the latter plank. Copyright chills the spread of knowledge. Sounds like the publishing cartel got UNESCO to promote their propaganda.

"Copyright is brain damage."

Out right pulp space opera but to the 6 year old me, it made me fall in love with reading and opened my eyes to the world of imagination that literature can give humanity.

I still have the copy I got when I was 6. It’s as Pratchett would say “slightly foxed… badgered, wolved and possibly beared as well. ” And very precious.
