      No, you don’t understand, they specifically did not use the material for simple enjoyment, they used it to try and make money.

      Obviously the author of the works should only retain profit if the end goal was simple enjoyment, but if the end goal was to make money from the original work, then naturally, the original author can go fuck themselves./
