We need to rework creator payment mechanics before we do that. If you ban copyright the first thing that will happen is that a pile of companies and people will make copies of all the best-selling books and put them on sale on Amazon for a penny over cost. The books for sale by the authors will be buried and they'll make nothing. Same for movies. It's going to be slim pickings when only people who can afford to and desire to make movies to give away for free actually make movies. I give away my stuff for free online, but do sell paper copies of books for profit. (People can print their own personal copies cheaper if they want.) That said, I'd be FUCKING PISSED OFF if other people who did nothing were making all the money off my stuff and I were making nothing. Because that's some unjust bullshit right there. I think the copyright term should be dropped to 14 years plus an optional one-time 14-year renewal. Or, to simplify the paperwork, just a single 28-year term. I'd also support no corporate ownership of copyrights, but I haven't thought that through yet.
