  You bought it, it should be yours to do with in perpetuity as you please.

    You can’t buy a book, print off a ton of copies, and then sell those copies. You can do whatever you want with your book, lend out, give it away, but you’re not allowed to profit off it.

      Sure you are. You’re allowed to sell it to a book store, and if it’s somehow more valuable than what you paid when you bought it, you profit.

    So you’re pro-DRM then if it helps content creators sell one copy per customer?

      People can buy multiple copies if so they wish to. Most digital sellers are perfectly happy to charge you multiple times for things you technically already own. Artificial scarcity by way of limiting a digital good is unethical.

        I was under the impression that the main point of DRM was to prevent blanket copying of a product and sharing with others who haven’t purchased said product.

  What about the rights of the creator and fair compensation

  That’s why you get paid up front for your work.

  We should worry more about what corporations are doing with people’s work, than what individuals are doing with what they’ve paid for.

  Or simply, if someone’s profiting from it, then worry about the rules.

    I guess this is kind of my point. The general left consensus on copyrights, creator’s content, DRM, and AI is not founded a position of principles, it’s foundation is seemingly only what serves the end goal which is whatever is perceived to help middle/lower class the most.

    Which of course I can totally get down with, but I just resent that everyone covers their arguments as if it’s coming from a principled idea when in actuality they hold little principles on the matter and just want an end goal.

      Copyright only exists to serve society, to promote the creation of content. It’s not about restricting anything, other than as far as it helps more people create, more creation happen. Corporations stomping on individuals does not promote creation.
