So you want to reduce innovation and cause creators to not get properly paid for their work? Great idea
lol “innovation” what is this 1925?
how innovative are the cars being produced because they look the same.
half those medicines are publicly funded
the Internet is publicly funded.
this belief of private sector innovation is not as true as they sell it to be.
So you’re just going to ignore the even worse creative theft that would happen under such laws towards artistic talents.
There’d be much less in the way of tv shows or animations.
This. Public institutions do a way better job and are more efficient at most things compared to private companies. It’s just a fact.
No, because paying for your medicin and Internet is something your government/country SHOULD do.
Healthy people with access to the surrounding world through the Internet is a giant net positive for a country.
But ofc we have to think of the poor billionaires first.

Certainly, if that was all the public domain was, it’d be great! But it’s much worse than that. It allows people to freely take and profit off the art of others without paying dividends. It allows larger companies to steal and copy designs of small, new companies and under cut them even more readily and easily than they already do.
There’s plenty of downsides that you’re not considering.
