    Copyright IS about protecting creators

    No, it isn’t. The intent WAS to “To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts”. The reality IS that it harms society, by benefiting only the already powerful.

      If that were true, removing copyright entirely would benefit society.

      Just because it’s been corrupted doesn’t mean the intent and purpose isn’t still there.

      It’s absurd that we essentially agree on what needs to happen, but you’re stuck on the idea copyright currently has no benefit to anyone but big business.
