    The reason copyright exists is for the same reason patents do: to protect the little guy.

    If you actually believe this is still true, I’ve got a bridge to sell ya’.

    This hasn’t been true since the '70s, at the latest.

      So you believe there is no protection for creators at all and removing copyright will help them?

        I believe that the protection copyright provides is proportionate to how much you can spend on lawyers. So, no protection for the smallest creators, and little protection for smaller creators against larger corporations.

        I support extreme copyright reform, though I doubt it should be completely removed.
