I completely disagree with you. Copyright law is generally a good thing. For example, I made a video recently that went super viral (like, on international news), and I was able to make money off of it because I own the copyright. If copyright weren’t a thing, all of those news orgs could have just run the video without me seeing any benefit from it, even though I created it. Copyright law is good for most people, and especially good for creators. It can be abused, just like most laws, but overall, copyright law is good. That’s the main reason I don’t use AI to write code. If the AI wrote the code, I don’t own the copyright (in fact, no one does). Copyleft also very much depends on copyright law. Without copyright law, the GPL would be completely unenforceable. Anyone could take any open source code and do anything with it without giving anything back to the community.
