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.

I genuinely feel like I’m talking to a wall here.
