Exactly. Paul Mc Cartney have been trained on copyrighted material and should give his money back to the majors
So abolish copyright law entirely instead of only allowing theft when capitalists do it.

That is definitely one of the most cooked takes I’ve heard in a while.
Why would anyone create anything if it can immediately be copied with no compensation to you?

Creation is its own incentive.

Do you make any money out of copyrights?

Maybe you can download them. Apparently download is theft

Creation happened before intellectual property laws existed.
Creation happens that can be immediately copied with no compensation now, open source software is an example.

How many authors do you think would have written the books they did, if they weren’t able to make a living from their work? Most of the people creating works before copyright either had a patron of some description, or outright worked for an organisation.

The specific works? Who knows. It’s irrelevant
My point is your original premise was wrong. Creation DID happen without IP laws. People DO create with out the need for compensation.
I propose, people will create things because they always have.

You should read the opinion of Steven King about that precise point. The short version: “I’d write books even if it was illegal”.

I think copyright should last maximum 10 years. Plenty of time to earn enough from your creation.
Imagine how advanced we would be, as a civilization, if everything created before 2015 was free for everybody.

Honestly, I think our world would be a lot blander, and we’d have a whole lot less original content.

You know that for the vast majority of human history copyright didn’t exist, and yet people still created art and culture, right?

I don’t see how allowing AI robbery barons to steal copyrighted material would benefit a small fish in the pond of IP

The original copyright law was created to protect authors from publishers. The current law is an abomination and should be removed.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 month ago
You’re probably right, but saying we should abolish it altogether is insane. There’s a good reason we have these laws.

There are no good reasons.
