Those accusing leebase of trolling are missing the point. He's put forward an interesting hypothetical scenario, and has played devil's adocate to prompt debate. I see no trolling here (at least not from leebase!).

The debate about what the state of creative endeavours (arts, sciences, engineering etc) would be in a world without copyright is fascinating one, and the answer isn't necessarily the same in all fields. Getting past the politically motivated dogma to discuss the actual consequences is a worthy goal. Kudos (and Karma) to leebase.
