Just a thought, what would happen if all copyrights were abolished or the generative AI revolution we’ve been seeing will continue to the point where almost everything machine generated to a point, and therefore, open season if derivative copyright isn’t protected, then what would actually happen to the US economy?
I don’t buy the argument that people just won’t innovate anymore as there won’t be an incentive anymore just doesn’t cut it. There are multiple motivations that exist simultaneously, for example - governments have a motivation to technologically advanced compared to peer nations, humans have an inherent desire to create, power, notoriety, etc etc.
So in that case, let’s just abolish the first layer of incentive that actually uncovers more greed than anything by absurd copyright laws and just open the flood gates and get rid of all copyright. We need some real innovation and all this babble about who owns an ‘idea’ is way too restricting.
