I fully agree that creators need to eat...
But how they divest themselves of the right to decide to allow this 'use through commerce' leads to the situation where authors and artists who might be fully happy to allow some their work to be freely accessed, simply can't.
I think some authors out there would. Even if only as a marketing opportunity. But some older classic works need to be freed, in my opinion.
But they now share what was once their creation (a performance, wisdom, or simple expressions of humanity)… is now suddenly ONLY a "vehicle" of commerce...
I propose no solution.
This wasn't an attack on 'corporate greed'... it was an observation about the effect of it... generally it disallows access to human creativity without payment... reducing the propagation of human ideas, expression, and potentially things that feed the human experience meaningfully.
I don't presume to "know" where a balance could be found.
