> 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.
