I liked Avatar in 3D I'll give you that, I don't see how abolishing copyright would not have allowed that move to be made though. If anything, allowing the creators of that movie to more freely sample ideas might have made the movie better.
Abolishing copyright would enforce a system where nothing is capable of being sold, at least not digital goods like books, movies, video games. You would still be able to sell things of course, and people would probably still buy them, but they would also be able to get them for free.
Abolishing copyright would probably bring more people back to the theaters, for unique experiences such as Avatar 3D, at some point we will all have 3D televisions in our homes etc.. But then Hollywood will just come up with some other unique experience for us to go and see.
Abolishing copyright will create new systems of interaction between creators and users, systems that are incapable of being known today under the current copyright regime.
