What about Plagiarism though? That's the main point of intellectual property. If someone writes a song and it's really good. It's about the artist's life, full of personal stuff that only that artist could think of. It's this artist's master piece. But then a more popular artists decides to steal it and makes it becomes more successful. The more popular artist doesn't owe anything to the original creator?
I think IP is definitely abused, but still a lot of cases were it can protect people.

- pitaj 7y agoCopyright is a form of IP.
- finnthehuman 7y agoThat’s not plagiarism. Plagiarism is is passing off someone else’s work as your own. The bounds or plagiarism have no ties to the legal bounds of what is or isn’t copyright infringement. You can have either one without the other, or both at the same time.
- jumpman500 7y agoIn my scenario the more popular artist is pretending to be the original creator and stealing their work. But imagine any plagiarism scenario. Someone republishing Harry Potter under their name for instance. How can you prosecute someone for plagiarism without copyright laws?
