Abolish copyright law, it does nothing but stymie creativity
At least restrict it. A carpenter who made me a chair doesn't get paid every time I rest my derriere on it.
Naaah, that's not true.
I promise you that if the stuff I've written and published could be used by anyone, however they wanted, it would not have been published. I would have kept that shit to myself.
If anything, copyright laws encourage creativity because the person knows they can take their time to build things up. You don't have to worry about fifteen sequels to your book being spammed by hacks trying to profit from your work
