I, finally, got around to reading Trotters piece.

(I'm ignoring folk art as being special, basically.)

Good ideas are also in short supply, and are therefore valuable.

Yes, they are. But if you happen to have the good idea first, and I can't prove that I had it without being exposed to your work (and with the internet, that's a pretty tough ask), then you've got…

Because artists are denied the immediate lump sum payment corresponding to the long term advantage that society derives from their work. In exchange, artists are promised that society will pay when the work is used. The artist earned the money at the point of creation, and then receives that over…

Not directly, no, but I've asked several times why the family of an artist should be entitled to this state-sanctioned income stream that isn't available to others who may be subsisting through their income-earning years.

Because artists are denied the immediate lump sum payment corresponding to the long term advantage…

As far as life-plus-70 goes though, I agree; that's b.s.

I suspect we're a little bit at cross-purposes, and…

The point is that if you create a house or an artwork, you should, normally, be able to retain the income from it. The Supply of land has as much to do with this as does the supply of pencils.

The families of artists who earn very little from their work are more important than the families of other low-income earners,
I don't think anybody said that; you may want to check your sources.

Not directly, no, but I've asked several times why the family of an artist should be…

So are we arguing whether copyright should exist at all, or are we arguing about duration?

I thought I'd made it perfectly clear that my objection is not to the existence of copyright. For the third time, I accept that creators are entitled to be paid for their efforts. Rather,…

Discuss...

A more appropriate comparison might be building a house. If you decide to do that, and then rent it out, you would expect to continue receiving benefit for that, essentially forever.

Yes, you would. But the supply of land is finite.

If that's the take on Mozart that you're content with, hey, don't worry, be happy.

Rich, the argument espoused to justify copyright is that if there's…

I've talked repeatedly about financial (mis)management. If you've got shares that you can will to your dependants, then you've obviously taken some steps to ensure future financial security. You're not relying on the work you did today to give them security, you've turned the rewards from…

Yes, Matthew, the right to inherit is unique to artists.

Oh, very good.

To summarise the points presented thus far: The families of artists who earn very little from their work are more important than the families of other low-income earners, and this justifies the imposition of a statutory monopoly…

If I run a business and die, my next-of-kin inherit my business, which might be worth quite a bit of money.

And, uh, 20 years? That's widows and orphans territory, to be honest. It's the 50 years copyright that's a stretch, not the life + 20.

Once upon a time, copyright was for 14 years, plus a further 14. Like him or loathe him, Dickens wrote under those terms. Twain wrote…

If it's about artists' control, why is it a "lifetime-plus" term? Generally, once a person dies they cease caring about what's happening to things they did or created while they were alive.

Yeah, because who cares about their children?

The point isn't that copyright is primarily non-economic. It is that…

Rich, the argument espoused to justify copyright is that if there's no money in it people won't create.

The number of artists who both created significant art and didn't get paid for it is essentially a rounding error compared to the number who did and got paid for it.

I…

You might want to justify why copyright is supposed to be an incentive scheme, as opposed to a recognition of an artist's inherent right to control their work.

If it's about artists' control, why is it a "lifetime-plus" term? Generally, once a person dies they cease caring about what's happening…

That's a really fucking perverse take on the ostensible incentive to create that justifies copyright's existence.

For musicians, except the very, very successful, the money doesn't come from albums, or lyrics, or music. It comes from touring. Getting out there in front of the fans. Ridiculous term durations don't help that situation.

It'd make him ineligible as an NZ MP, wouldn't it?

Art is a professional activity.

And when you look at the artists whose names we know, the seriously art historical ones, the fraction…

... most artists have enjoyed a comfortable living throughout history...

I really think that's very untrue. I'd go so far as to say that "most artists", throughout history, have earned nothing or vitually nothing for their works.

Also, that's just not true, most artists have enjoyed a comfortable living throughout history, almost always as a result of some hefty state/para-statal subsidy, except for some religious groups and some other minor exceptions. Even at that, they took economic considerations pretty seriously almost always.

Or they had day jobs.…

Money wasn't the reason – it was incidental at best – instead it was creating for the love of doing so.

Look, you feed me for free, and then we can talk about artists working for love, ok? (Or, less politely, fuck off, how stupid do you think we are?)…

A more appropriate comparison might be building a house. If you decide to do that, and then rent it out, you would expect to continue receiving benefit for that, essentially forever.

Yes, you would. But the supply of land is finite. You also can't stop someone else building a house…

Goodness knows I wouldn't do my job for free. But I don't expect to get paid for it forever, unless I do it forever.

Matthew, I think you're comparing apples with oranges. Creating artworks is not like paid employment. You earn from the result, not from the work that goes…

Or do I not understand the etymology of the word "change??

I think 'change' currently means 'not Bush/completely fucking incompetent'. Whether McCain Palin will be that, is another question.

For the minor creators, if they cannot survive on what they make now, what would suddenly change in 30 years' time…

Once upon a time, copyright was for 14 years, with a renewal right of a further 14 if the author was actually still alive. That's fair. That's reasonable. I can live with something being tied up in a monopoly that's a fraction of the average human lifespan.

In practical terms,…

And what makes your work so much more important than creative work that you should get paid and copyright creators shouldn't?

I don't recall saying that the creators shouldn't get paid. My objection is in no way related to their remuneration. Goodness knows I wouldn't do my job for free.…

The Worm! The Worm!

Heh. I liked watching the reflexive Pavlovian uptick when either candidate said 'our troops'.

What all these polls show is that Obama won the debate hands down among the group that supposedly counted – leaners and undecideds.
