I actually don’t have to do that at all.
It’d be one thing if i, or anyone else in this thread, were saying that the problem with derivative works is that they aren’t originals, but that’s not the point at all.
This isn’t about venerating copyright in the abstract, it’s about infrastructure and longgevity.
