As a long-time writer, this case will have little impact on me, but I maintain a hope it’ll expand the limits of fair use and let us make more shared worlds than we’re allowed to.
Fair use was designed for teachers photocopying pages of Walden for their pupils to read over the weekend. Not industrial-scale laundering of IP to benefit shareholders.
I just want writers to receive a bigger share of the cake, so publisher megacorps aren't the ones grabbing the lion's share. Writers could make a better living, and copyright could be reformed so corpos can't gate popular culture for more than two generations.
Writers decide if they want to use a publisher and which publishers to use. With the internet, I don't think any good author needs to rely on a traditional publisher.
