Large corporations predate copyright, including the west india trading company. So yes, it is strictly untrue. Not all business relies on copyright and patents to run.

Corporations created by government granted monopolies… Now, why would governments even entertaining the formation of corporations?

That’s a different conversation. You’re redirecting. My statement was as to that copyright is not necessary for large corporations. I’m still anti corpo. Without copyright large businesses would be the primary beneficiaries. They’d be able to freely do as china’s factories do. They’d simply undercut the original inventers with their massive wealth, making the products cheaper(and often worse), selling more and amassing more money for themselves.

You merge or sue your competition to death for copyright violations first…
Capitalism without copyright…

Yes,
Capitalism is the issue. Not copyright. Why do you think copyright is causing the problems that capitalism is causing.
A nonsense statement when said in reply to what I said.
