      I think some form needs to exist, even under communism; or else how would you earn for your labor without someone else taking your work and exploiting it?

      I agree it should be like 10 years though, and infringement shouldn’t be some wild number, takedowns 100% should not be “shoot first ask questions later”, etc

        You’re aware that communism is a moneyless society, right? There is no “earning for your labor” anymore and in turn no real loss for the artist that prevents them from having access to basic necessities, nor any real incentive for others to illegally copy someone’s work in the first place. So no, communism doesn’t really need any kind of copyright. Crediting the original artist would probably be mandatory, that’s about it.

        But I do agree with your second paragraph for the time being, where money earned through labor is required to survive.

        Ideas are not products of individuals, but of societies. Artists and intellectuals need copyright nowdays because those jobs usually lead you to starvation under capitalism (no, i dont consider academics as a good example of intellectuals). And history is full of irony, because it will probably be capitalism that will take copyright down because its an obstacle to developing AI

          What’s to keep Disney from poaching everyone’s ideas? IP protection isn’t a bad thing in itself. IP protection in perpetuity is the problem. 10-20 years seems fair.

      You cant fence ideas.

      Yeah, you can’t fence ideas using copyright, that’s what patents are for.
