Harlan Ellison on Creative Piracy
Loading...
Uploaded by ottoskidoo on Nov 30, 2007
Another shaky yet profound excerpt from Harlan Ellison with Christian Divine at the 2003 Creative Screenwriting Expo. Here, Ellison offers a righteous rant on information versus creation rights. Woe to those who cross him.

As someone who creates content for my living - he's exactly right! People who steal should pay the consequences!

@955472 How does this make illegally downloading a torrent of a movie, book, or cd without just compensation to the creator of said product alright? Copyright law has nothing to do with the fact that you want something for free, so you steal it.

EPIC :D

@spek6 you must have missed the part in the beginning when he says "a generation has been conned by big business to think that all information wants to be free." He is obviously blaming corporations. Please listen more carefully before you criticize.
-
your dumb. a corporate copyright is a negotiation between the CREATOR of the work and the corporation
the creator has full right to fully define how his work is seen and how much it costs
-
He's wrong. People will pay if the fee is low enough and easy to pay for. Look at Apple's app store. The internet has revolutionised commerce and he is stuck in the past. I have spent more on allTunes in three years than in the last twenty years, buying dozens of obscure albums on a whim for $2. Did the RIAA help the artist get the money? No, because they are also stuck in the past.

@WalterLiddy Charging admission for a speech doesn't create intellectual property.
-
@spek6 f he were intellectually honest, he would at least acknowledge the fact that perpetual corporate copyrights have destroyed the public domain.
That's nonsense. You're just one of those punks looking for justification to steal from other people.
