@rysiek and did you notice you are the first one to bring up 'compensation'? *I* certainly did not. -

@rysiek defining 'market' in terms of a sole supplier is 'silly'. Of course a a sole supplier has a virtual monopoly but that is meaningless -

@rysiek Wikipedia, while being extremely useful, is never, ever, the last word. It is an encyclopedia in progress, by definition. -

@laroquod WHERE, exactly, does the Berne convention say 'it does not matter'? Anyway what you think you can see is wrong. -

@laroquod that article is limited. For one thing, it does not mention Dutch Author's law. -

@laroquod sure 'monopoly' has a meaning. Just not in this context. -

@laroquod provided there is a market at all - which, so far, I doubt :p. But OUR law does not grant a 'monopoly'. -

@laroquod 'monopoly' may apply to the music industry etc. who do *dominate* a market but not to individual artists who dominate nothing -

@laroquod but I have never been obtuse, let alone 'intentionally' so, nor will I ever be if I can avoid Alzheimer's -

@laroquod you have a right to your short-sighted opinions -

@laroquod and since it applies only to *my* work it is not remotely a 'monopoly' -

@laroquod though the period is not as ridiculously long here as it is in the USA and as the USA is trying to impose on others. -

Also, when I die, ALL my work will pass into the public domain, because I say so. No 50-year, 70-year or 100-year period in force.
