6.6 Similarities And Differences Between 3 Models. Summary

In general, the Authoright model comprises the advantages of both, the Anarchy and the Copyright models, while bearing none of their disadvantages:
1.Under the Authoright, like under the Anarchy model, an author is more likely to find his first publisher, if he is unique. And vise versa, (unlike under the copyright) an author is less likely to find the first publisher if he repeats after someone else.
2.Within authoright, like within Anarchy, an author is a more valuable asset in general terms to compare with Copyright, and thus always has a chance to get paid better from the very beginning.
3.Unlike to any other environment it is impossible, under Authoright, for any entities, but the individual authors of the work to claim authorship. This specific feature gives the author another push into the very center of all culture-related businesses.
4.Like within the Anarchy model, authorighted work gets promoted by the entire competing publishing community, while under Copyright the promotion of a work is restricted to the good will and real abilities of one or somewhat limited number of publishers and other public users of the work. Moreover, under Authoright, the promotion of a work automatically means promotion of its author and entirely depends on his talent.
5.Similarly to the Anarchy environment, an author may sell his authorighted work either literally fixed in some media or in the form of sponsorship as many times as he gets. However, within the environment poisoned by publishing monopolies, he is actually condemned to one time or otherwise limited sale. Regarding sponsorship, any entity may call itself an author's sponsor if it provides agreed-upon incentives to the author. This can happen to an author in any environment, but cannot be considerably useful within Copyright, because the quantity of business and other public users of a work of art is extremely limited. It may be useful under Anarchy, but in a lesser degree than under Authoright, because of differences in the attribution requirements.
6.On the other hand, even within the Anarchy an author's name gets protected at least two times. Firstly, unwritten, academic like, attribution standards develop. Secondly, it is in the best publisher interest to attribute a work to its known author. A stealing may happen, as we discussed it, at the very first public appearance of an author. Still, there are certain protection abilities out there. Needless to say, the same works under the Authoright.
7.Under the Authoright, similarly to the Anarchy environment, the more talented an author is and thus the more unique, the more he gets promoted. However, within the environment poisoned by publishing monopolies, the author is pushed to follow well-selling examples.
8.Under the Authoright, like under the Anarchy, an author is free and encouraged to create truly new work in any and all meanings of the word. On the other hand, the author meets no restrictions to learn from others. To the contrary, under the copyright regime, an author must adjust himself to the tastes of a limited number of publishers in an increasingly greater degree, and, on the other hand, is limited to learn and build upon the works of others. Shortly, the author is pushed into naivety and plagiarism.
9.Similarly to copyright, an author can protect his name under the Authoright using the special law of the mandatory attribution, while under Anarchy, he has to use non-specific laws. This feature does not amount to a huge advantage, but just makes it easier to protect the author's name. As I said earlier, it is likely that unwritten rules will emerge and work, like they do in academic environment and this will actually nullify importance of this feature.
10.Under the Authoright, similarly to the Anarchy, if a publisher steals an author's name, the author can still compete with the thief. On the contrary, under copyright, a work, if stolen and is not recovered in the court, is lost forever.
11.Like within the Anarchy environment, under the Authoright markets are flooded with works of art with a spectrum of content, quality and prices. Under copyright, market development is limited at least two times: firstly, by direct regulation by publishers and secondly, by monopolistic prices.
12.Within the Anarchy and the Authoright environments, a work gets promoted by all of the publishers willing to do it. It gets exposed regardless of the economic and other abilities of specific publishers. Within the copyright environment, exposure of a or work really depends on one publisher who bought it. Hence, the author is naturally forced to look for a big publisher, which means that copyright enforces regular monopolies also, not only culturally based ones. This trend once backwards fires on the author to bow to the taste of that big publisher in order to be published, promoted, sold and paid. Thus, an author's dilemma in the copyright-driven environment really is: ''more money <=> less creativity.''
13.Similarly to the Anarchy, an author is discouraged to conduct plagiarism under the Authoright, while he is encouraged to do so under copyright. Within no-publishing-monopolies environment, where ALL WORKS ARE ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL PUBLISHERS, the publishers are naturally driven to go after the best, and have to get it by all possible means. Oppositely, under copyright, a publisher secures his portfolio for some prolonged time. This portfolio is the real essence of the entire copyright business. Here a big publisher may invest big money into the promotion of a work. A small one is tempted to follow: he will try to buy something similar to secure his profits. There is no urgent need to find the best for anybody, because the only urgent need is to find or order something somewhat different from a bestseller and to monopolize it. That is, as I said it not once, plagiarism is encouraged. It reveals itself in false diversity, when the market is flooded by many talentless works following some greatly promoted ones as examples. We have to emphasize this: greatly promoted works, not the best ones, stage examples to follow.
14.This also addresses the current situation regarding derivatives. While a real creator's freedom to build upon earlier works is suppressed under copyright, a plagiarist can very easily measure the level of formal differences and follow all necessary formalities with permissions in order to be published. On the contrary, building upon work of others, while being a natural way of culture development, is flourishing under the Authoright and Anarchy as well.
15.Under the Anarchy and the Authoright publishers are interested in public development, while under copyright publishers are interested in public retardation.
