It will continue without IP once people realize that the creative arts benefit from people doing it for the love of the art, as opposed to doing it out of a fear of starvation.
People should get paid to create things, and get paid what the work is worth.
Right now, people get paid a small fraction of what it's worth, while the bigger fraction goes to execs who have had no hand in creating anything of value. And those execs get paid for selling something that their workers have made, not for making it.
Big-budget movies should get made because people democratically decided that we want to collectively spend resources on making such a movie, not because unelected company execs say so who have exclusive control over a huge amount of capital and who can use IP laws to extol more capital from innocent people who just wanna watch a decent movie.

Communist countries make weird propaganda films all the time. You can go watch them and see what that looks like.
- apologia 4y ago> People should get paid to create things, and get paid what the work is worth. This is literally how it works today though. No one is intentionally paying employees more than they have to, and if they pay less than they have to, they lose employees. Basically this is just an anticapitalist rant. Not useful even if one agrees with the premise.
