How in the present if we are not trying to protect their own original work, then no one will appreciate the effort tired creators. For the government, it is suggested to protect the innovator efforts to combat piracy and appreciate innovators. Communities also need to be educated to appreciate the work of others and also be encouraged to create the original works.
