Unpopular opinion

They do if they compose it.

If one writes a work of fiction, say a novel or poem of their own creation;
what right do you have to plagiarize? Biden plagiarized in college, and was reprimanded.

At one time the kingdom or the collective cooperative owned the efforts of the individual
(England pre Magna Charta; and USSR, CCP, Cuba, Venezuela)
English Common Law is a work in progress that fights against the State, and allows individuals
to have a sense of personal dignity where there historically has been little but the prospect of adding your individual efforts to the profit of the kingdom at large. The USA law has roots in English Common Law.

An individual is limited in time with intellectual Copyright Laws,
basically to their own lifetime 100yrs, and possibly inherited by benefactor children of their own making, then it is in the Public Domain for all to freely use. 100yrs is appropriate.

What's your rush to make personal gains upon the backs of others efforts ?

I don't make gains off of people. I just think I should have a right to use them personally

Communist China MAKES THEIR ENTIRE GAINS off the backs of their people
One has NO individual rights under such a system you tout. We just think we, if the leader says we ought be lead there for the good of the Collective. There is No Eye in team.
You are not the Commie you profess to be, once you state "I just think I..." as there is no individual claim to anything, and there certainly is No "right to use them personally" as it is Collectively.

You've got the U.S. Constitution Bill of Rights all screwed up as something that could be convenient for Collective Group socialism.... kinda screwy way to conceptualize bastardizing the
greatest system ever attempted.

China is capitalist

Uh, Okay. ...really? That is what you're going with? Are you certain?

What is CCP, the Acronym ?

Just because someone calls themselves something doesn't make them that thing

Thanks for clarifying.
Now the whole "trans thing", Title IX,
and biological men participating in womens sports in the State of Maine makes sense.

I know girls who compete against real boys and win. Skill issue

Define "real" girls

And by real boys I mean people who identify as boys.

That is an interesting definition provided, of "real" girls

That’s how communism works. It makes money for those at the top off the backs of the slaves.

That's capitalism

The very vocabulary word is Engels and Marx. Totally screwball way of thinking.

The Free Market Economy kicks ass for the most individuals ever, just efforts are justly rewarded

Then you would not have artists.

Oh, you would, yet they'd work for The State. SOCIAL REALISM

for example:

https://classroom.ricksteves.com/videos/social-realism-the-art-of-communism

According to what you’ve said there would be no”state” in “real communism.”

Is that comment aimed for me or the RavenMaster of London Tower ?

Sorry, wrong person.

yet according to what you've said there wouls be a state of fantasy

The LAST SOCIAL REALIST ART

So writers, composers, and artists shouldn’t own their own work, in addition to doctors, farmers, builders etc. I see your pool of slaves is expanding.

If money is abolished you have to go back to a barter system which is ineffective.
