lmao copyright isn't important
if copyright were abolished worldwide today, we'd be in a happier place. people who buy things generally want to buy from the official source anyway, those official sources might even have to cut prices or (god forbid!) have to make their services better to compete in the market
If copyright were abolished, all FOSS and Creative Commons licenses would be rendered null and void, since they depend on copyright law to work.
Aren't they a bandaid to a copyright problem (certain parts of it)? If the copyright is gone the root of the problem would be gone.
Companies could take and steal as much as they want from smaller artists in that case
As will small artists to companies.
Shit even the value of art would be intristic to am individual, almost impossible to capitalise on, but totally viable for an individual working directly with people
As they already do, you mean? Like, look at the recent Spotify scandal, with artists complaining that they don't earn enough and a higher up of Spotify saying that "nowadays content creation is very inexpensive", basically implying that Spotify deserves to keep most of the money since the artists' job is super easy. Most musicians already get most of their money through concerts and merchandising. Copyright already de-facto doesn't protect the artists nor the scientists.
