Hiding science papers behind paywalls serves no one.
You vote with your wallet in sort of donation based economy. Someone making a Star Wars movie? Great let’s give them cash. Cure for cancer I am sure many patients will be so grateful that they will donate a lot.
Devs make a cool game? Wow let’s fund them
You give currency to the people who you feel deserve it or maybe you could just do something for them in exchange but this is where it gets very abstract and complicated, more of a thought experiment imo.
In any case all knowledge is free in my book and the rest I use form of donations when I am able to the people that made things I use with great pleasure.
This is basis of my moral and life philosophy.
First I pirate, copy, share everything then I decide who deserves what based on my experiences with the thing and my financial ability. It is simple and effective. In such system Ubisoft couldn’t exist but Larian would thrive and that tells me all I need to know.
To be honest I even view people who buy things beforehand somewhat negatively because they contribute to this big corp madness. It’s thanks to them that blizzard or ubi or Disney exist at all.
So as you see I use my sense of guilt and empathy to donate to the people I think are amazing. It’s an empathy based economy.
Pirated a book? It was great? Have some spare cash? Great let’s send it straight to author. They get 10x more without all the leeches. It’s a win win
This is an idealized world you imagine. It doesn’t exist and will never exist. Most non-profits are underfunded these days. Nobody wants to pay for stuff voluntarily if they don’t need to. In a world you idealize, any capitalist asshole will always win. So why would everyone else grant them that and offer stuff for donations while they won’t? It won’t work, it has never worked.
Besides, I doubt that companies make suffiecient money from you. You probably spend way less with your method. You’re just trying to justify it by saying you only support the good. But what you actually do is make it more expensive for me who fairly and legally obtains the media. I’m paying for your piracy.
It’s called progress
