> otherwise you'll soon find we have far fewer great authors, artists, etc. It's been long understood that this idea isn't based on any real evidence. Creators create because they like to create things. Adding money to the mix tends to ruin most creative endeavours. Look up beautification or note how Googles only good search results involve the keyword Reddit.

Theres "creators create because they like to create things" and "creators create things because they want to make a living off of what they create". If artists/authors/musicians/etc aren't going to be paid for what they create, they can't make a living doing it. If they can't make a living doing it, that severely limits their opportunity and time available for creating things since they could only do it as a hobby (unless we bring back royal patronage or something). Many of the best artistic works we have came from people who were able to commit 100% to the creative process. That's gonna be real hard to do if you can't pay for food and housing.

  Copyright laws are red flag laws for publishers. It has nothing to do with creators. People are regularly paying creators directly to create through patreon, super chats, advertising, early access, subscriptions, etc. The idea that you need copyright to protect you is just not based in reality. Get rid of copyright, creators will find a way to monetize it if they want to make a living doing it. It's not society's job to protect your ability to get paid for your hobby. There are no original ideas, just people that write them down. You don't own them, you extracted these ideas from society, the least you can do is give them back.

Hilarious you claim something isn't based on any real evidence, while providing zero evidence to back the claim up.
