Crazy idea:

If copyright was invented to prevent printers from scooping authors’ work and out-competing them for sales…

Maybe copyright should only apply if you’re trying to compete with the author?

So like, not if you’re just a lowly individual trying to keep up with the references all of society is making, or understand the world you live in.

If we had the political power to fight Disney, then we could enact a UBI so everyone can get free art all the time.

LotR should have entered the public domain in 2023.

Instead we got the Rings of Power.

out-competing them for sales…

Boy that is a really mental gymnastics way of saying "profiting from someone else's work".
