literally the first words ... "All rights reserved; not to be reprinted without permission of the author" and "copyright Arthur C Clarke" - so why share it here?
I've complained to HN about this and proposed solutions. They don't care.
It would be different if the commenter would be trying to make an actual, intelligently argued case why the link shouldn’t be shared in this instance.
That being said, one could instead link to https://web.archive.org/web/20080718084442/http://lucis.net/..., where the story is “reprinted by permisssion”.
You can say arthur clarke has passed on - but part of the way he was rewarded in his life was through licensing the copyright of his works to publishers, and copyright extends to 50 years after death, last time i checked. and diminishing publishers' ability to make money off their licensed works diminishes our ability as a society to support artists in their work.
I see support for nytimes here vs. chatgpt - isn't that the same thing as this, just on a different scale?
