Intellectual property are rights for the rich. A perversion of science and art used to commercialize our culture. Creating artificial scarcity while denying that all science and art are built from copying and iterative development.
We could abolish it completely and it would cause an explosion of creativity and innovation like we have never seen before.
Yeah, nah. While copyrights are a problem as they’re currently employed, removing them would screw every content creator on the planet. Most of us don’t make much as it is, with only a few making a living from our work. Removing copyright would allow anyone to take what we produce without any compensation.
Content creators are not protected by copyright unless they have anywhere between $50k-300k and months of their time to waste an litigation.
The average cost for a federal copyright case is $278,000. Let’s stop pretending this is for the little guy.
Most importantly you are only looking at the utility of Intellectual property to make money. Art and science exist outside this realm for thousands of years without it.
We are to sacrifice the way science and art have always worked so supposedly content creators can make money. If this is your argument I will have to take a hard pass.
Copyright and license laws for you, not for me. This is the biggest theft ever.

The corporations would love that.

In theory, the law applies to everyone. In practice, it doesn’t apply to rich entities.
