    So abolish copyright law entirely instead of only allowing theft when capitalists do it.

      Exactly. Paul Mc Cartney have been trained on copyrighted material and should give his money back to the majors

      That is definitely one of the most cooked takes I’ve heard in a while.

      Why would anyone create anything if it can immediately be copied with no compensation to you?

        I don’t see how allowing AI robbery barons to steal copyrighted material would benefit a small fish in the pond of IP

        I think copyright should last maximum 10 years. Plenty of time to earn enough from your creation.

        Imagine how advanced we would be, as a civilization, if everything created before 2015 was free for everybody.

          Honestly, I think our world would be a lot blander, and we’d have a whole lot less original content.

            Maybe you can download them. Apparently download is theft

            Do you make any money out of copyrights?

        The original copyright law was created to protect authors from publishers. The current law is an abomination and should be removed.

          You’re probably right, but saying we should abolish it altogether is insane. There’s a good reason we have these laws.

            There are no good reasons.

              Really? Artists getting paid for their work isn’t a good reason?

                  So what’s the alternative? How else would a professional artist make a living?

                You don’t need a copyright for that. Copyright doesn’t pay anyone anything.

                    That’s because you don’t understand what copyright legally is.

        You know that for the vast majority of human history copyright didn’t exist, and yet people still created art and culture, right?

        edit: If you’re gonna downvote, have the balls to explain how I’m wrong.
