GOOODREADS: In ‘Digital Barbarism’, bestselling novelist Mark Helprin (Winter’s Tale, A Soldier of the Great War) offers a ringing Jeffersonian defense of private property in the age of digital culture, with its degradation of thought and language and collectivist bias against the rights of individual creators. A timely, cogent, and important attack on the popular Creative Commons movement, ‘Digital Barbarism’ provides rational, witty, and supremely wise support for the individual voice and its hard-won legal protections.
AUDIBLE: World-renowned novelist Mark Helprin offers a ringing Jeffersonian defense of private property in the age of digital culture, with its degradation of thought and language, and collectivist bias against the rights of individual creators.
Mark Helprin anticipated that his 2007 New York Times op-ed piece about the extension of the term of copyright would be received quietly, if not altogether overlooked. Within a week, the article had accumulated 750,000 angry comments. He was shocked by the breathtaking sense of entitlement demonstrated by the commenters, and appalled by the breadth, speed, and illogic of their responses.
Helprin realized how drastically different this generation is from those before it. The Creative Commons movement and the copyright abolitionists, like the rest of their generation, were educated with a modern bias toward collaboration, which has led them to denigrate individual efforts and in turn fueled their sense of entitlement to the fruits of other people’s labors. More important, their selfish desire to ’stick it’ to the greedy corporate interests who control the production and distribution of intellectual property undermines not just the possibility of an independent literary culture but threatens the future of civilization itself.

The Education Audiobook. The place where irony and Catch 22 finally meet. Thanks for the upload.

Every work of art is a derivative work. Copyright is thought policing.
Artists are suffering for the same reason so many others are: a free market, even without monopolies, is not in itself sufficient to support all necessary aspects of human life. A UBI seems a promising candidate for filling in some of the gaps (and of course nationalised healthcare).

Also the nerve of this man, writing “copyright abolitionists” off as lazy-and-entitled-wanters, as if we don’t publish our own books, art works, software, etc freely and under CC or similar licenses as well. Rather it’s the reverse, his assuming a right to controlling other peoples’ personal lives.
