Re: “DRM is Used to Lock in, Control and Spy on Users”
#2Interestingly copyright industry has grown to be one of the greatest enemies of the democracy and freedom of speech.
I think that the shame is shared though as too many people started to disrespect the right of the authors to get a fair share for their work.
It still does not follow that we should prefer rights of the authors over more general civil rights.
If the choice is between authors not getting paid and freedom of expression, or any other more important right, we should choose the last.

>>disrespect the right of the authors to get a fair share for their work.
Because there is no right or "fair share".
Creators have only the right to ask for money for their works, they have no right to compensation at all.
Further from an American Legal perspective there is no "choice is between authors not getting paid and freedom of expression" the constitutional reason for copyright, patent and trademark is to promote free expression. That is the sole reason the government was empowered to create copyright law in the first place. to the extent that copyright becomes detrimental to free expression it becomes unconstitutional
Copyright does not exist to protect the profitability of Disney no matter how much their lobbyist believe that it does

Have there been any challenges to copyright on constitutional grounds?
If not, at what point might that happen?

And there lies the problem, I think. Or perhaps maybe I did not express myself precisely enough. So this is another take.
Everyone has right to ask and receive a compensation for their work. Nobody should be forced to work for unfair compensation. I do not know if this is written in your constitution, this is just something in what I believe.
I believe that generally the justification for DRM arises from the second sentence. What I expressed was that if the measures used to safeguard this position interfere with other more important rights then we should value more important rights and accept that some work may not be created.
We can not force somebody to work for free, but we can accept that some work will not be created.
Creators have only the right to ask for money for their works, they have no right to compensation at all.
Does this mean that if you do not accept what they ask for their work, you still will have the right to use their work?

>>Everyone has right to ask and receive a compensation for their work. Nobody should be forced to work for unfair compensation
Last I check no one is being forced to create movies, music, books, software, or any other creative works.
I work in software development. I have had commercial projects fail miserably, I have spent 100's of hours on projects that have earned me $0, why because while I valued them clearly no one else saw enough value in them to provide me with money for them. I have no right to compensation for that labor. I only have the right to ask people to compensate me, if they choose not to then I miscalculated the market.
