And if the heirs have no interest in exploiting that property I see nothing wrong if squatters move into it.

You can't compete with piracy on price, but you can compete on other terms. The first step would be to identify what your barriers to selling are. |

So you are not entitled to the copyright system in the same was that I am not entitled to get money from the state without working. Last edited by tompe; 02-20-2011 at 02:20 PM. |

Of course I have a right to demand that the state should enforce copyright - the law gives me that right.
I'm afraid that I don't see the connection with getting paid to read books; that is not at all the same thing as the creative act of writing a book. |

Oh yes he (and we) do. It's called the rule of law. It applies to houses, land, property as well as intellectual property. |

Certainly; I'm not saying that it's not a valid way to make a living. I simply didn't see the relevance of Tommy's suggestion that the state should pay him to sit at home and read books.
