@sofia@chaos.social @spinach I've found that lots of people still just sort of *assume* it to be "better than nothing", afraid of what would happen without copyright, because they've never really looked into its practical effects and only go by its stated purpose of 'protecting artists'. And so there's no recognition of "copyright literally does not work and does the opposite, it is worse than nothing."

More awareness needs to be built around that, I think, before abolishing it will have any chance of success
