  ironically copyright laws as they are today are cancer, maybe they should copyright copyright so that it all just eats itself and dies

  But then if you can’t copyright it companies wouldn’t invest money in it since it wouldn’t be profitable. That’s kinda the whole point of copyright, so that there’s an incentive for innovation. Why invest in R&D when you can just let your competitor do it and immediately steal it from then?

    Copyright suffocate to death innovation by preventing people to use that technology and build on it, it’s just a dick move to make money. People can innovate without shitright too

    Copyright doesn’t create incentives for innovation it creates incentives for stagnation. It’s a guaranteed profit window for a static solution. Competition is what breeds innovation as you need to have the best product for its cost to capture market share. As copyright is inherently an anti-competitive practice only there to minimize risk it reduces innovation in favor of stable profits. Just because r&d costs money it doesnt mean that supply chains and production are handed to competitors for free. Its just a tool to minimize risk for venture capital because those who lobbied for it wanted to protect their assets from risk exposure and did so at the expense of consumers and innovation through lobbying. Removing it wouldnt stop people from creating solutions or trying to invent new products. Those who do the r & d always have a leg up as they have the research available to them for tweaking there process or final output that a competitor would not.

    “steal it” you cannot steal knowledge

    copyrighting living beings is bad

      You’re not stealing knowledge, you’re stealing someone else’s time, effort and money. There’s a reason there’s IP laws everywhere.

      What then do you suggest as the alternative? Or is your suggestion just to stop innovation?

        free is good

        “time effort and money”

        im sorry but innovation will be sustained without copyright

        no one is just gonna go “I cant make obscene amounts of money on this, better not do it at all” if they actually care about it

        free is good only hurts the rich

    why would anyone buy from someone who just copied it instead of made it?

    and money has ruined innovation

    are you suggesting that we would just stop innovationn without copyright?
