Intellectual Property should be abolished - change my mind! - Lemmy.world

Hey mateys! I made a post at /c/libertarianism [/c/[email protected]] about the abolition of IP. Maybe some of you will find it interesting.

I'm a fan of a copyright term similar to the original US copyright term. Fourteen years at the outset, with an additional seven (versus the 14) upon the payment of a fee scaled based on the revenue generated by a work (to be used to support artistic grants.) After all, if the argument is that copyright is necessary to protect artists' economic interests, it follows that copyright holders wishing to extend should pay back into that system if they want to extend.
Honestly that sounds so much better than what we’ve currently got, a lifetime + 70 years.
You can thank Disney and Mickey Mouse for that one.
