You’ve all had some very interesting answers for my last post so here is a question for you, how do you think about copyright in general and should it exist?

    You can counteract this with a strict timeframe like 20 or 25 years. If I create something and die a year later, my copyright transfers to whomever and they can hold it for 19 more years. Seems fair all around.

      Yeah sure. What about only for family (except if you specifically denies it, and then it would go to the state or go free).

      Edit: but why though? If I die tomorrow, my kids won’t get a dime from the work I’m no longer doing for the next 20 years, even if I spent lots of time studying etc. I mean, it’s not simple.
