    I am hard side eyeing everyone who are pro abolishment of IP laws. You are either mindless consumers who have never spent time and effort creating anything yourselves your entire lives, or you haven’t thought this through.

    I hope for the latter.

      I have spent time and effort creating things myself. Still think ip law is not entirely accomplishing what it should, which is protecting the interests of people producing intellectual works, preferably while they can still reap the benefits of said work and are not financially/socially stable. It seems it’s basically working backwards, great for inheritors to make millions by doing nothing except owning some IPs but terrible at protecting the people who actually need it.

      I also know a few people holding some important patents, and I guess the patent system is alright in comparison, at least in France, since it did actually protect their work while also allowing others to use it fairly and improve on it.

        There is definitely room for improvement when it comes to IP laws, but abolishing them entirely is not the win some people think it is.

      I think you should have rights but not like it is today with stupid 100 years after authors death.

      You can also protect the creation, without having laws banning people using it. Like if you buy a painting in france, you can’t burn it or “disrespect” (sorry, can’t find a better word) it.
