Yeah, and culture will stagnate forever at the 2020 mark, as nobody in his right mind will create anything new only to be immediatly copied without anything in return. >usher in an internet age where everybody can access the entire corpus of evolved knowledge We have had that for decades and everything is going to shit. People now just reject facts.

  Then why were copyright laws created immediately after the advent of the printing press? One wonders...

    Yes, immediately, just a short three hundred years later (printing press 1440, first copyright law 1710). And if you look into that law (Statute of Anne) then you will find that poor hardworking authors where not exactly on the receiving end of that protection.

Where is the problem here? There already exist multiple lifetimes of whatever creativity you enjoy.

> nobody in his right mind will create anything new only to be immediatly copied without anything in return If this take is serious, I can confidently tell you: for many professional artists, it's incorrect. I'm sure you didn't look at my profile and don't know my background, but I'm a professional bluegrass musician. Believe me when I tell you: few of us believe that 'intellectual property' is designed to help us make a living. And we're happy to see it go. Copy my music all you want - that's half the point. Creativity, especially in traditional arts, does not benefit from state intervention or shoehorning property concepts into our work.
