Copyright as it exists today does an awful lot of exploitation-enabling and innovation-stifling in itself. (And that's ignoring the rest of the IP suite.)

- junon 5y agoThis is like saying "cops today do a lot of nasty stuff, let's get rid of all cops". The result is pure, unmitigated anarchy, looting, murder, and lawlessness. I don't find either to be useful lines of thinking.
- matheusmoreira 5y agoNot really. Things would be pretty simple. You see something? You can copy it. Not a single legalese document in sight. Don't compare this stuff to police brutality, looting, murder. They're not even in the same realm. Intellectual property is just ideas and absurd notions of ownership. It's like trying to own numbers. The real brutality is sending people to jail over this.
