More intellectual laziness, as to be expected. You are blatantly contradicting what you have written in other threads, where you have stated that the intent of the artistic creation is irrelevant. When people have said before that copyrighted works are created with commercial purposes, you have said that they should still be "free" because the purpose of the creation does not matter, only what the user gets out of it. Now suddenly you want art that is created because of artistic purpose? There is nothing stopping people from creating things for artistic purposes. You say copyright abolition would change behavior, but if people really thought that free works was a better way they would do it, and copyright would simply become a useless relic of the legal system. You do not abolish the system and then come up with an alternative. You prove better alternatives, and eventually those alternatives simply displace the system.
