the copyright issue is where thing get messy.
every country has different laws for different situations
movie industry vs music industry
not to speak about the use of music in a movie
music on the radio, or on tv, or in a pub, or 'other media', etc.
then on internet things become very vague, when the author is in Malasia creating content under Malai law. publishing it on a server somewhere in lets say Europe under European law, and being read by someone in Brazil under Brazillian law. And then someone in the USA comes along and forces US law down everyones throat...

This becomes even more messy when a platform is decentralised, where the hosting is scattered across the globe under a plethora of laws that are all up against each other.

this needs a new approach from a humane point of view, as people consume the data from economies with very different dynamics. You then should not think from a capitalist angle but from an ethical angle. Do what is right for everyone. Not simpley do what is conveinient for a Wallet for someone living in 'the west'

And myself living in the west makes me feel silly to NOT take advantage as that rubs my fellow westerners in the wrong way. But ethics is the future of the net.
Since we all need to live on this tiny rock drifting trough space.

I think the question should be something like:
Do we really need to monetize at the cost of others just because old backwards rules pretend we can?
