    Like if an author had a five year old why shouldn’t the kid get royalties if their parents is in an accident?

    Like I said, all it does is prioritize the desires of the dead over the needs of the living. It’s not justified.

        In the perfect world, the kids should have UBI regardless on if their parents are authors. But yes the kids should be inheriting the remainder of the fixed-term copyright.

      So you would rather the publisher make the money instead of giving it to the family of the artist for a short period of time.

      What terrible priorities.

            Hmm, I think there may have been some confusion on my part here. I’m fine with copyright directly serving individual authors and their families.

            I’m not into how that is expanded and abused by corporations.

            But I’m also not into the idea that my creative work could be taken and used in ways I don’t want it to be to undercut me and destroy my ability to subsist off of my labor. I so I think copyright has a place in society.
