> Crowdfunding demonstrates that if we completely remove copyright laws: art will survive. Yes, though I think all that was sufficient to reach that conclusion was all the art that lived long before copyright laws ever existed in the first place. (And I hope copyright lovers admit that Shakespeare, if there was copyright in his day, would have probably created fewer works, not more. In fact it's possible he and others produced so many works precisely because there was no copy protection!)
