So, rather than wondering about copyrights effects on 17th century Britain and Germany -- why not use NOW. How hard is it to imagine the world with no concept of intellectual property?

It would surely be all roses and candy canes right? Knowledge would no longer be withheld from the poor. Greedy corporations would go bust practically over night. All of us could get copies of ebooks from "the price fix six" without giving those greedy bastards a dime.

It's all benefit with no drawback -- right?

Wrong. Because everything is now free, there are nnow next to no jobs, and unemployment has hit 5 billion in the world. There are not enough people paying taxes to support the unemployed. The food chain has collapsed, and healthcare is only available to the rich.

copywrite and intellectual property does more than just protect ideas. Its just one player in the game that protects the current existence.
