    So then it sounds like somebody just needs to provide a font for applications that is a low priced one time payment and they would do pretty well. I wonder how difficult it is

        Yes, I too love allowing large corporations to steal from independent artists and use their larger resources to take market share and all of the profit

          … you know it is precisely copyright that allowed large corporation to form, right?

            That’s strictly untrue

              Wait, you’re serious claiming the opposite of the reality.

                Large corporations predate copyright, including the west india trading company. So yes, it is strictly untrue. Not all business relies on copyright and patents to run.

                  Corporations created by government granted monopolies… Now, why would governments even entertaining the formation of corporations?

                    That’s a different conversation. You’re redirecting. My statement was as to that copyright is not necessary for large corporations. I’m still anti corpo. Without copyright large businesses would be the primary beneficiaries. They’d be able to freely do as china’s factories do. They’d simply undercut the original inventers with their massive wealth, making the products cheaper(and often worse), selling more and amassing more money for themselves.
