Yep, like I said: doesn't work as advertised "just because actual reality".

@JackGreenEarth @Veraxus
Failed and unethical as long as it's used by non-human entities like "companies" to enrich bosses who didn't create the content themselves. Just and ethical when it's used to protect actual named human authors, and only them. Big difference. Big big difference.

Exactly, this is just a diversionist argument pretending that just because a theoretical possibility exists the problem can be considered solved in practice - it's like the decrepti old capitalist argument that "everyone can start their own company" if they don't like how they're treated as an employee. No they can't, not in the real world out there. That only works on paper, i.e. if you ignore the current distribution of resources and privileges in the existing society and economy.
