Paul Heald counters the argument that the copyright owner should control investment in his work (ie, the derivative right) by showing that investment increases upon release to pd, If selling, distributing, displaying and performing digital copies as a business model is losing traction as a result of Consumer resistance to copy controls, the strength of copyright trends to zero, specifically, The 2015 de facto digital copyright will have lost much of its strength: 1. [exclusive right to make and authorize others to make copies] 2. exclusive right to create and authorize derivative works ? 3. [exclusive right to publicly distribute and authorize public distribution of the work] 4. [exclusive right to publicly display and perform and authorize others to publicly display and perform the work], If selling, distributing, displaying and performing digital copies as a business model is losing traction and as evidenced by Proliferation of business models that do not rely on control over and sales of copies, The 2015 de facto digital copyright will have lost much of its strength: 1. [exclusive right to make and authorize others to make copies] 2. exclusive right to create and authorize derivative works ? 3. [exclusive right to publicly distribute and authorize public distribution of the work] 4. [exclusive right to publicly display and perform and authorize others to publicly display and perform the work] ????

[exclusive right to make and authorize others to make copies] 2. exclusive right to create and authorize derivative works ? 3. [exclusive right to publicly distribute and authorize public distribution of the work] 4. [exclusive right to publicly display and perform and authorize others to publicly display and perform the work] except that Exclusive right to exploit the value of things that cannot be digitized or that are embodied in a physical copy will remain a viable incentive to create (original works of art, experiences like plays, movies; works embodied in physical form (books) or applied to physical forms such as mugs/t-shrits/games/toys/ets.), If the price of digital content is, as a result, trending towards zero as evidenced by Content that used to sell for a per/piece price and is now free, the strength of copyright trends to zero, then, Will we need, and be able to effectively argue before Congress in 9 years that we need, a vibrant and healthy public domain?, If the price of digital content is, as a result, trending towards zero and If voluntary reductions in enforcement of the digital "copy" right functionally (de facto) weaken it, which would seem to drive the value of the digital derivative right to zero also for example Examples
