How in the world do you imagine that could happen? The number of people who will write full-time
will go down, if they can no longer expect the same financial benefit they currently receive. And in any profession, people who do a task full-time are almost always more skilled than those who do it part-time, with rare exceptions.
Or do you think that authors currently write more poorly than they are capable of, due to the damning effect of their work being protected by copyright?
Or are you imagining that there is a mass of writing geniuses out there that will suddenly start writing, who had held off until now because they didn't want their books to be subject to copyright?
