We could have a poll with two options, would you pay for content that is available for free, if all proceeds went to the creator. I feel that some of us would pay some of the time, and that should be more than enough.
Would it be ok for a computer to read every available work if the computer was capable of learning? Yes or No????
I recently downloaded a book but the format was not conducive to being scanned so I did not read it. Luckily I picked up a copy of the same book from my local library and have been reading the paper version. I already know that this book contains much useful information and is going to be extremely helpful for the future. Since I have already read the paper version would it be allright for me to reread the electronic version? Or is all this academic to simply sending some compensation towards the creators if you are capable of sending compensation? In other words, what need of copyright?
