Why do people think it's ok to steal art without permission? Would it be ok to walk over and steal a person's sandwich just because it looked good? Artist Tara Reed explains her point of view
Thank you for taking the time to make this feature, this is happening a lot over here in the UK and I have had this happen to me so I sympathize greatly. Your synopsis is spot on.
The last reason why sandwiches are the perfect argument against copyright:
Great chefs innovate and express their art and talent, but how many do you see out there suing copycats? Do they need copyright monopolies to make money? Or does their talent speak for itself and get rewarded?
Having used your sandwich argument to disprove what you've been saying, the next question is: when you make a sandwich in your kitchen, and eat it, get your nutrition and enjoyment, should state law really prevent me in my kitchen from making a ham sandwich, because you did it first? Should it prevent me from cooking it for my kids?
Sandwiches are such a perfect example of what is utterly wrong with your 'copyright infringement is theft' argument
Copyright is a monopoly over a form of expression. If you making that form of sandwich (a ham sandwich) is your form of unique expression, then your state-granted monopoly prevents me from making an identical sandwich in my kitchen. If I do, you don't lose your sandwich! NOTHING is taken from you. But if my sandwich-making hurt you somehow, then you can claim compensation.
so wish there was sound.
