And as a software engineer I have a strong incentive for copyright to exist. That doesn't disqualify me from holding opinions about it.

- viraptor 7y agoI think it's a bit different. Your job wouldn't disappear if copyright disappeared. You may need to change your approach in business, but on a technical level, things stay almost the same. We were pretty much in that situation in some European countries in early 90s. (at least from enforcement point of view - lots of pirated software sold at marketplaces in the open) People still created software.
