Copyright - at least for images - is going to become moot shortly. Copyright exists to allow an artist time to reap the benefits of his labor. Without this time, they say, no rational person would invest his labor into making art. Dubious… but, whatever. The point is, if you remove the ‘labor’ from the mix, there’s no need for copyright. If I can produce spectacular images with zero individual labor, there will be little reason for me to copy someone else’s work.
