Lengthy copyright may be uncompetitive, but the absence of it would also be surely? If I create something and an already large business can just take it and use it without any recompense, doesn't that merely entrench their market position?
Can you explain your reasoning?

There's already numerous posts from artists claiming their work was copied verbatim (or near-verbatim) by major corps. Fighting it in court will take years and cost a fortune they don't have.
- MattPalmer1086 4y agoThat may be, but is the solution to get rid of what little protection they legally have?
- danielheath 4y agoIf it's not protecting them, and it's causing other harms?
- MattPalmer1086 4y agoYou would have to demonstrate that the harms far outweigh the goods for all works protected by copyright, not just the poor artists you mention. Law is never perfect. I agree if it does more harm than good for most then it should be replaced.
