Crowd funding is one example. You’re not going to crowd fund a $200m blockbuster but I don’t see why we need to have those kinds of movies. Copyright and intellectual property laws benefit a small minority of people at the expense of the masses, and strike me as unfair. If a $200m movie is only feasible with draconian copyright laws, perhaps such a movie is unnecessary? I’d rather have the freedom to remix art and benefit from others doing so than live subject to surveillance just so the state can be sure I’m not copying movies that can be copied at no loss to others. I don’t make movies but I have been working nights and weekends for nine months on a robot design [1] that is CC0 licensed, which means no copyright public domain. The work can be a reward on its own, and work done by this kind of passion has a character very different from a massively for profit movie. Personally I’d enjoy the art more if we had no copyright. Then only those passionate about the art would make it, and people would fund what they enjoy. I’d vastly prefer that system. [1] https://youtu.be/DXPmqCd0r04 https://youtu.be/DXPmqCd0r04
