LMFAO: if there is no copyright, there will be no creation

Are you SERIOUSLY serious? What do you think there was, before copyright law? We had no art? We had an art in it's pure form. What you see now is commercialization, and has nothing to do with creativity, or art, for that matter.

When you create something for free, no one will 'steal' it because it's free. Who stole firefox? How did it managed to survive all these years? Who stole Open Office? Who stole Linux? And there is nothing bad if you improve something to perfection, or have ability to change something to suit your needs, or taste and not being scared to go to jail because of that.

Sole purpose of copyright is to rip you off your money, and stop creation spirit. Because, you can't modify it. You can't make it better. You can only buy original crap. Artist makes only max 10% from sales, that is like $4 per sold CD with price tag of $40. Cost of that CD per CD to be made is $5/100.000 sold copies. rest is pure profit that someone showed up his ass.

Creation is spirit, form of expression, vision, sense, you don't need money for that. Money is bad motivator, it's already scientifically proved.

Here's the example of that: creation of CPUs.

At the time dual core CPUs were out, creators already had technology to develop CPUs far more than you are currently able to buy. But, they won't sell you 64/128 core CPU today, because they can slowly rip you off your money through years. THAT is economy, and THAT is slowing down progress. Because of copyright.

You are not buying the most quality stuff. Puma almost got closed because of that, 25-30 years ago they made shoes that could last for a decade. They almost got broke because once you buy their shoes, they don't see you for a decade. So, instead of having best, we have worst, overpriced stuff, wasting resources, because that's the way you make more profit.

I say, fuck that.

What about resources, pollution, future generation that will live in mountains of trash we made? My kids and grandkids, your too, are supposed to live in a future WE built.

Lemme quote

Copyright is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and other related rights.
from wikipedia

Clearly,if there was no copyright, i would be developing a new browser named "waterhorse", from the source of firefox, and firefox could not make me shut it down, or claim that i am using their code. on the contrary , i would be saying in my website that firefox stole my original code. and since i am doing this from the time of firefox's start, most people would be confused,as the new releases would be almost similar.

and ultimately firefox will have no option than to either secure their source code or shut down further development. both will defeat the whole purpose.

you cannot force a creator to freely share his work, neither can you force him to NOT share his work for free.
Whoever shares his work for free, its good, but who sell their stuff, its not bad .

I have always been a supporter of more freedom on internet, but a totally free internet would be a nightmare.
Let me again quote our uncle Ben Parker,
Internet has great power,and "with great power comes great responsibility."

That too reminds me about the fact in copyright free world, i have my own comics company named "Marvelous" (i can even name it marvel, since there is no copyright) , and the new issue of "Revengers" is out.

also, i am not so much sure about the dual core thing you mentioned, but competition is a solution for such things, if there is no monopoly in market, there will not be such cases.
