    Yeah, author’s rights are interesting as an argument. But still, I just don’t think they make much sense philosophically. Fraud is a clear case to me, everything just seems dubious.

      Author’s right is also an historical thing. It was made because before it no artists could claim anything at all regarding the work after it was created, no paternity, no money, no tell whatsoever. The artists we know before 1800’s are just a few of the billions that have existed, in part for this reason.
