I only re-use material with a 'Creative Commons' license. I think this license is more advanced than 'copyright' for a number of reasons. I respect an authors copyright on a novel, publication etc, but imagine what would happen if the language it was written in was copyright?
Imagine if mathematics was copyrighted by it's creators?
There are a lot of assumptions built-in to any advanced culture, and I suspect most copyright is just 'monetizing' something made out of other people's intellectual property. EG. How much does rock music owe Nikola Tesla creator of alternating current generation and distribution? (I don't expect anyone to answer that question)
I agree. I also re use material with a creative commons license as well. I agree with everything you said. I just thought the article was interesting and it could be useful.
