@fidvo. A good post with some good points. I posted my best guess as to what would happen without any form of system for rewarding creators. Poorer quality material and less of it. Unfortunately copyright has now become so distorted in favour of rights-holders (who are often not creators) that it sometimes works against the public interest, one very clear example being academic publishing. We do need to reward creators, but the system needs to be much better balanced and practical.
