Here’s what happens with no copyright:
No one will have any right to their own creations. Anything an individual makes will belong to everyone. And since no attribution is required, no one will know who made it. An average artist’s value to society goes from low to non-existent.
In this world. big corporations will take everything created, claim as their own, and profit from it.
Right now, big corporations using other peoples work unattributed or unlicensed is unethical, because copyright exists. Remove that, and it becomes expected that every thought and idea you express belongs to whoever can make the most profit from it.
- CaptainFever 3y agoMoral rights can still exist, so they can't claim that they made it. This assumes that big corporations will be able to profit to the infinite extent we have today without copyright. Law is not ethics. And finally, this is already the case; without the money to sue, you effectively already own no IP. It's either copyright for only big entities, or for nobody at all.
