I haven't read every post but I have to wonder. If copyright was abolished and every creative work was free how would the artists manage to survive long enough to create their works? Would the state provide them with free housing, food, clothes, etc. because I think that's the only way it could really be done. It would be a world with similarities to Plato's Republic in some ways. If creative people were to be expected to give their works away that is. You can't have one without the other.
