Anecdotally, after years of being on HN I can't recall anyone arguing to get rid of copyright.
Tons of arguments for getting rid of software patents, strengthening fair use, and putting abandonware in the public domain but flat out against copyright as a concept is a bit extreme for NH.
Again, just an anecdote based on my experience.
- olliej 8y agoThere was a post a few weeks about getting rid of IP laws, with many comments from many people arguing that we should definitely get rid of all IP laws, including copyright.
- throwaway2016a 8y agoI must have missed that one. Again, just an anecdote, not saying that people who want to get rid of all copyright don't exist just that I haven't seen them.
