With respect, I find this position quite baffling.

The ability to use your years of experience and hard-earned skills in your particular craft to make something and then have ownership of the thing you made allowing you to make money from that thing, or sell it, should be something we absolutely protect.

It’s a foundational principle behind capitalism and the very startup culture that HN/Ycombinator is built around.

Saying that we should abandon copyright is a bit like saying we should abandon “ownership”.

Too often I see this framing referring to the likes of Disney but this is to ignore the vast majority of individual small creators, who are not huge corporations, and absolutely need the protections that copyright provides in order to make a living from their craft.
