Do you know that it was the fact some centuries ago? And do you know
what the side-effects are?
That the creators of the artifacts do not get paid. Unless they work
on something somebody who has the money ordered from them.
Copyright should theoretically make things better for them. In
practice I am not sure it is so much helpful as some suggest.
The artists still get hardly any money (except for the famous ones
that do not have to rely on copyright anyway) yet everybody gets lots
of restrictions and taxes all the time.
Thanks
