- naasking 3y agoCreators created before copyright existed. "Copyright is essential for creative work/innovation" is folklore that's stuck deep in people's heads but has little actual evidence behind it. Without copyright you probably wouldn't have an IP behemoth Disney, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't have animated features. I'm not sure the world would be worse off.
