The Myth Of Original Creators
,----[ Quote ]
| It's nice to see more and more people recognizing and speaking out about
| these things. The idea that there is a single "author" or "creator" who
| deserves to get money any time anyone else builds upon his or her works is
| something that should be seen as increasingly ridiculous as people recognize
| that all works are created based on the works of others, and it's inherently
| silly to try to charge everyone to pay back each and every one of their
| influences in creating a new work.

| Jim Lindgren has an interesting post over at Volokh.com concerning the legal
| battle over a book that may or may not be characterized by some as an
| unauthorized sequel to "Catcher in the Rye".

Why Are Newspapers Exploiting The People They Cover?
,----[ Quote ]
| When we recently wrote about yet another journalist complaining about how
| Google exploits their content, someone in the comments made a really salient
| point that should get wider exposure. If you go by the journalist's own
| logic, then the truth is that they are exploiting the newsmakers they cover.
