    Copyright and intellectual property as a whole is actually bad for artists and authors and only serves the interests of large corporations.

      The idea of coffee copyright is good, but corporate lobbying and the current most-money-wins legal system makes our implementation of copyright harmful. TL;DR: Interface good, implementation bad.

        I think even the interface is just intended as a band-aid fix for the current economic system (not gonna say the C word). In a better world art and media would be a public good.

        But I do get your point. Could absolutely be improved for the current system.

          No copyright need a nearly ideal system, where the people go to the original creator by themselves to get more content.

          But in the current reality, without copyright big coperations would just take the stuff of indi creators and get bigger because the masses know them and stay by them.
