    “steal it” you cannot steal knowledge

    copyrighting living beings is bad

      You’re not stealing knowledge, you’re stealing someone else’s time, effort and money. There’s a reason there’s IP laws everywhere.

      What then do you suggest as the alternative? Or is your suggestion just to stop innovation?

          Yes, this is exactly what happens. Lone humans just can’t do much on their own, you need money to fund you, and money doesn’t fund anything that isn’t going to make them more money.

        free is good

        “time effort and money”

        im sorry but innovation will be sustained without copyright

        no one is just gonna go “I cant make obscene amounts of money on this, better not do it at all” if they actually care about it

        free is good only hurts the rich
