Does it though? With the sheer volume of creatives nowadays, combined with industry that seems to love nothing more than whoring itself out for maximum accessibility/customer base/sales, we live in a world where creative people create for the sheer sake and joy of creating. I would like to think that many of these folks would still create should copyright not have existed. Maybe in the old world, where something as simple as literacy was at a premium, but in this new world? I'd bet the lack of copyright would filter out so much mediocrity and lowest-common-denominator filth
