How could we have gotten great works like Canterbury Tales or Beowulf without rent-seeking copyright protectionism?
I should note that there is already strong intrinsic motivation to create and there are already too many works to read, watch, or listen, and a lot of slops created clearly to make money.
People are willing to accept deplorable working conditions to pursue their dreams, such as developing video games.
Since I do improv, most of the value I created are on the spot and ephemeral anyway and I basically perform for free anyway. I would stand to gain if people go out to theaters and other avenue as opposed to consuming content on netflix.
