Public Domain Dedication

in photography •  8 years ago 

Digital copies of content are virtually free to produce (unlike food). The actual work of creating new and unique content is what needs to be rewarded. Restrictions on creating and using copies are unnatural and even damaging to the culture as they deter sharing and relatively devalue truly original creations by putting artificial value in copies of demanded commonplace works. Most photographers basically recreate images that have been made a million times before by others, is there really much value in doing that? When a magazine needs a specific and unique photo rather than a generic stock image, they will still have to pay a photographer to produce it.
