The current system of perpetual copyrights is broken. It stifles creativity and ingenuity. The current system of silly copyrights, copyrighting a concept or a vague process, is broken. It stifles creativity and ingenuity.
Total lack of copyright is a terrible option. It would tend to keep an unknown artist out of the market by allowing a larger, more well-funded company to sweep in, copy the work, distribute it farther with more advertising, and profit from the work of another. It would stifle creativity and ingenuity.
The solution: reform copyright laws such that they expire after a reasonable amount of time. This lets the person or people who do the work profit from it. It gives people an incentive to create, and a reasonable expectation that should their idea prove profitable, they will see some of that profit.
