It's a very interesting question.
In the West, especially the English speaking world, rights to intellectual property are respected because it is believed that this encourages innovation.
Apparently, in other parts of the world, there is no respect for any rights of creators, and, it appears, no creation or innovation, only speed and efficiency in piracy.
Of course, one must admire speed and efficiency in piracy.
But, still, if creators stop creating because they have no incentive, what then?
Maybe pirates (and the rest of us) have no worries, because creators will create, even if their creations will be pirated and they will have no reward.
Maybe people will work for the love of it, without pay, as well. |
