@futzle@old.mermaid.town I'm a published author and think that copyright is good in concept, but it's badly implemented. Specifically, exclusive use is too long, it should be in the 10-20 year range, and also it incentivises large publishing houses to screw over artists. I don't advocate for the removal of copyright, but I desperately want it to be reformed. There are some wider political movements like universal income that might make it irrelevant. We'll see if any of those happen.
