you would throw out hundreds of years of copyright law on a whim. This is economic suicide for independent creatives. The most tragic part of this is that creatives themselves, immersed in creativity, see no rhyme or reason to stop the flow. Over time, those that grow old or weak are discarded with no rights to their own work. Yes, it is that bad.
- treyd 3y agoHave you listened to artists and creatives talk about copyright recently? Especially ones that publish on newer, digital distribution platforms like YouTube? There's numerous more thorough critiques of copyright law and calls to abolish it from across the political spectrum. You're mischaracterizing me by suggesting that it's "economic suicide", as I said in my original comment in this thread: > But we shouldn't be responding to that by clinging harder to schemes that have outlived their usefulness, we should be developing new models for funding production. Sure it would be disruptive if we snapped our fingers and said "no more IP starting tomorrow", there should be a gradual phasing out of these unfair protections and effort put into sustainable pro-creative models.

- treyd 3y agoThat's bad but also mostly unrelated to the main point I'm making about copyright. If anything it's supportive since part of the risk of account deletion/restriction is running afowl of their content ID system, which only exists because of strongarm corporate copyright holders.
