I don't think copyright is inherently immoral. I think it's good to have at least a temporary monopoly on a piece of creative work that you've made. The important word here is temporary. The way it's set up right now, copyright protection lasts too damn long.
Unless it’s a multigenerational collaboration then yeah it should protect the creators relationship to their work in their lifetime, but that “happy birthday to you” nonsense is stifling.
something only a closeted racist would say
Stop following me creep
Both of you need a time out, go touch grass.
quit being a closeted racist

people share stories. it's natural and good. copyright is a government enforced monopoly that prohibits sharing. it's immoral.
You dont need to sell stories to share them.
But with copyright you don't get to make that decision, the copyright holder does.
I definitely dont. Ive shared a fuckload of stories without ever consulting the copyright holder.
The gubmint isn't forcing you to only sell your stories. If you want, you can upload your stories on a website for free.
But you don't get to tell people how they should distribute their creation. That's some authoritarian bullshit.
I should be able to share any story I know.
Oh you're one of those people, living in delulu fantasy land.

This means you’ve been reported already. Be prepared.
Ooooh me so scared
Oh I wouldn’t report you. But the person you’re arguing with- the one I quoted, absolutely will. It’s what they do. I was just trying to give you a friendly heads up.
It’s what they do
What a sad existence
Yeah. It’s tremendously sad. Look at their comment history. I and many others tried reasoning with this person. SO many times. They’re purposefully being difficult just to stir a pot. There’s absolutely no reasoning with them.
If this is the type of argument they make, they strike me as the kind of person to stiff an artist they commissioned because "bro your art is public bro".
I’m at the point where I’m pretty much not allowed to discuss a thing about that guy. He’s getting everything I say removed and banned. I’m now going to private discussion with members, mods, and admins to see what can be done about him.
this is just an insult. it is not a rebuttal. personal attacks are expressly prohibited in this community.
cOpYrIgHt iS iMmOrAl is also not a rebuttal. It's a platitude based on your delusional worldview.

Not inherently, but the way it's currently set up sure is.
Is it immoral for an artist to charge money for their art?
no. it's immoral to tell people they can't share it. sharing is good.
We have entire facilities with the sole purpose of sharing books. You can buy a book and lend it to whoever you want.
right. this has nothing to do with copyright.
So what exactly is the issue again with artists and authors and singers making billions when hundreds of millions of fans buy their work?
nothing is wrong with selling your work. it's immoral to (use a government-enforced artificial monopoly to) stop others from sharing culture, though.
it's impossible to know how much money she made just because of her (artificial, government-enforced) monopoly position in the market. but without that monopoly, i don't believe she'd have ever come close to being a billionaire.
