Within a week, the article had accumulated 750,000 angry comments. He was shocked by the breathtaking sense of entitlement demonstrated by the commenters, and appalled by the breadth, speed, and illogic of their responses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHelprin realized how drastically different this generation is from those before it. The Creative Commons movement and the copyright abolitionists, like the rest of their generation, were educated with a modern bias toward collaboration, which has led them to denigrate individual efforts and in turn fueled their sense of entitlement to the fruits of other people’s labors. More important, their selfish desire to “stick it” to the greedy corporate interests who control the production and distribution of intellectual property undermines not just the possibility of an independent literary culture but threatens the future of civilization itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44889173557477,"sku":"NP9780061733116","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780061733116.jpg?v=1730230680","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/digital-barbarism-a-writers-manifesto-isbn-9780061733116","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
