> People will still write without copyright Yes. Way less of them do cause very few people could afford to write. > Maybe the quality will even go up as there are fewer incentives for quantity over quality Maybe people who write/etc. time on average produce better quality than those who can only dedicate a few hours per day for it. Also you want to eradicate entire creative industries like cinema and television for no apparent reason. > If your argument for copyright relies on protecting speicific jobs then you have no argument No my argument is that copyright protection (including patents) was one of the main driving forces behind the progress of human progress over the last 300-500 years. Obviously the current system is not perfect, I'm not saying it is... Overall it still made the world a much better place than it would have been without it.
