I can’t believe people disagree with this point I am unable to explain. My utter lack of self awareness and critical thinking skills inform me that they’re all idiots, not I!
To answer yours, beyond what i already laid out in the question itself, the original Night Of The Living Dead has been out of copyright for decades, and yet corporations still make money off it.
Do they create their own derivative work and then make money off of that because copyright laws prevent people from copying and redistributing it for free?
Edit: They didn’t have an answer because they know I’m right. They respond with insults rather than admitting they’re wrong.
This is why businesses that profit off of copyright and patent laws make so much profit, because they have no shortage of suckers and saps who don’t know any better proud to throw money at them.
But hey, at least they fit in with each other, right? 😉
How is the publisher making money if everyone can copy and redistribute it for free themselves?
Edit: Loving the downvotes from useful idiots. Keep getting taken for a ride 👍
Yuuup.
You didn’t answer my questions

I see that you’re an “output only” poster, rather than a “will actually disuss things” poster. Noted.
That’s a new record. Less than a day and you already have a tag on your account.
