Removing Copyright is like disabling the security system in your home, dismantling the fire detector in your kitchen, not getting car insurance in an area of high accidents, though these all relate to actual danger, it's also a stupid practice... Someone steals stuff from you, fire damages your home, you lose your car. And with removing Copyright, you lose your hard work.
Sure... Copyright sometimes goes too far, and limits the creativity of people. But in the sameway it helps protect your work. Don't you hate when someone else steals your creation? It really bothers people. And thats what Copyright does.
Now I am all for toning down Copyright, but completely removing it has no bearing on anything useful, except a quick fix to get everything free. Without Copyright... Media creators will just refuse to make anything. Whats the point if theres no revenue involved. When it comes down to it... It's all about money. The money the creators want, and the money some folks don't have or don't want to give.
It's a cause and effect argument. I personally don't like this idea.
