I get that it is in your interest to get paid as much as possible for your work. It makes sense for you to want this.
It is in my interest to not pay to read, watch or listen to anything.
Important people talked a lot about these opposing interests. In the end google books was killed, we were not allowed to read stuff written by dead people and we got to pay for this highly obnoxious global copyright gestapo who for example managed to equate the BitTorrent protocol with theft.
The readers got.... uhhh.... well.... to pay for it?
The deal we got is about as lame as to abolish copyright?
There is of course the collective interest as well. You nor me aren't all that important are we? Should we both be interested in well-red people or not? Do we benefit from others knowing stuff? Or is it perhaps harmful? Thanks to modern administration and other automations fewer people can do more work. There really are a lot of job openings but they all require a ton of reading.
I think we [some how] have to migrate to a subscription or patreon like system where you would get paid to write by the chapter. The quality would no doubt suffer but the model where civilization [maybe perhaps] owes you money doesn't work.
Maybe we can agree on how much you should be paid after you are dead? Or wait! We could agree that in the after life no one should enjoy the privilege to use ownership of your works to prevent reading of it.
