I wish that there was a place where, as an experiment, intellectual property was entirely disallowed. No trademarks, no patents, no copyrights, no trade secrets, nothin'. Just to see what happened.
- kragen 15y agoThe US was pretty close to this during the 1800s. While there were trademarks, patents, and copyrights, they were mostly notable for their weakness and absence compared to other countries at the time and the US today.

- danking00 15y agoThis isn't a fair comparison. The cultures of the United States and the PRC are quite different on many levels. Copyright law is one of many variables. Furthermore, there actually are some good mainland musical acts. I'd like a more detailed analysis of the volume of original content before I passed it off as worthless.
- stonemetal 15y agoPRC invented the free to play video game model because they learned early how worthless it was to actually ask their fellow citizens to pay for content. good mainland musical acts Good or not they aren't making money in a way that scales. edit: Worth in terms of getting paid not artistic worth.
