So what should be done so that authors and inventors are fairly compensated under our current economic system? I am not in support of capitalism to be clear but we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future and I don't want small authors to have large companies just steal their books and reprint them.

Patents can't be owned by companies. Only individuals. In the event of any patent being the result of a team effort each person responsible for its development is gets a proportion of profits from it.

If person develops a patent while employed at a corporation that company owns a lease on the patent lasting 10 or 20 years or something .

I'm sure there's holes in this you can drive a truck through but high level I feel like there is something there.

I also can't be arsed to flesh it out further.

Fucking source‽ Yes companies do scummy shit with IP all the time but no companies are not reprinting books without paying authors unless there is some crazy contract bullshit.
