    Others have expanded, but it may be useful to try to break out of the typical idea of ownership.

      But everything has to be owned by someone! Otherwise how could it be worth anything?

      (I’m being sarcastic, but alas, I expect there really are people with that mindset. I often see people who are absolutely incensed that someone could use their posts to train an AI without them somehow getting the microscopic fraction of a penny that the AI might eventually make, for example)

      Nah, spend years and money on something and then give it away? Nope, hard pass. Corporations would love that though, less litigation when they’re going to steal it anyway.
