Copyright protects creators and prevents monopolies from abusing the system. Imagine you write a movie to sell and Amazon steals that exact movie but uses their resources to market it as their own and sell over seas.
You tell me in what world that sounds fair. Only a moron thinks a free market economy actually works.
Another example is assuming companies act in good faith to protect the market. History has shown that not only do corporations NOT care about rules and regulations but they actively act in the interests of investors and profits.
It is up to the courts to fix the abuse of the current copyright system and unfortunately they also act in the interests of profits.
Imagine this thing actually happens because you're hired for Amazon as a screenwriter and you're paid a salary of 3k a month making shows that make Amazon 3 million a month, and Amazon, not the screenwriter, owns the rights to the show. Tell me in which world that's fair.
Thank you, that's why I'm a communist.
"Copyright rules are necessary because corporations don't care about rules and regulations" isn't as solid an argument as you think it is
You don’t know what you’re talking about and I’m not going to respond to your arguments that you yourself don’t even understand. Contracts of employment don’t have anything to do with copyright. In your own example Amazon owns the IP because they bought it. Something your commie brain wouldn’t understand I guess.
Oh I understand it alright, but how is "Amazon owns the IP" a protection of the artist?
