It's probably going to be an unpopular opinion but does copyright make sense anymore when you can get content created for you on demand? assuming it will get good enough.
- Gibbon1 3y agoReminds me of a drunkish conversation about software patents and copyright I had with my patent lawyer friend. He said the legitimate reason for both is to protect the real investment that was made. The classic is an author. Historically might write a couple of dozen major works of which maybe three have any long term value. Or a patent on some physical thing. The real world is NP Hard. His point about software patents and copyright is software isn't hard enough to be afforded that sort of protection. So I agree protection really aught to be based on how much effort + the reward structure. If we're just talking about rent seeking well fuck that.
