Copyright
All that being said, I think crediting people for inspiration is good form and should be part of common polite behavior.
To keep someone from copying your work you have to infringe on the private property of that person by claiming an exclusive right on prohibiting his use of his privately owned copying medium to instantiate a certain pattern.
Intellectual property is a contradiction in terms because information isn't scarce the same way that private property necessarily must be.
Copyright encourages creativity because the most creative work is done by the original work’s creator, and copyright protects that creation.
Copyright encourages creativity because the most creative work is done by the original work’s creator, and copyright protects that creation. Without that incentive, many original creators wouldn’t publish their creations in the first place.

Another way copyright promotes creativity is that it doesn’t allow creations that aren’t sufficiently creative.

People can still publish fan fiction as long as they get the copyright holder’s permission.

This isn’t marked as a criticism but presumably should be. (Though it need not be marked as a criticism anymore if it’s going to be followed up by multiple separate submissions as per #1324.)
This idea isn’t marked as a criticism but presumably should be. (Though it need not be marked as a criticism anymore if it’s going to split up into multiple separate submissions as per #1324.)
This is stifling to creativity, as now people are not incentivised to write fan-fictions as much as without copyright.
I fail to see how fan fiction is at all damaging to an original creator.

This idea contains at least two claims and one question:
- Copyright stifles creativity.
- Fan fiction does not damage creators.
- “Where is copyright good?”

Try submitting the ideas again, separately.
#1322·Dennis Hackethal, about 1 year agoNot a lawyer but I believe such fan fiction would be considered a derivative work.
Copyright protects original creators’ exclusive right to create derivative works. So, selling your Star Wars fan fiction without permission from the copyright holders would be copyright infringement.
