    Yeah, that would make sense, the publish delay could even be as short as a month for things like news, as their value comes from them being relevant.

      The news’s value should be to society, though, not shareholders?

        Maybe? We’re talking about a paradigm shift in copyright at a time where it’s harder and harder for traditional journalism to survive. I fear if we take such hardline stances on whether or not this information is freely accessible, we will lose it outright. Propaganda is always free. The truth has costs.

          Right, the whole original point of copyright in the US at all was “to promote the creative arts” - that they were finding that if there wasn’t at least SOME time for people to try to profit off of stuff they wrote/made, there was way way less motivation for people to put in the effort. It’s been twisted a good bit since, but the core idea isn’t nonsense, at all.

          Same with real journalism. Don’t see how people expect it to be done for free. For the past several hundred years it’s been normal to pay a modest fee for news.
