The printing press got traction in the mid-15th Century. The Statute of Anne was 1710. That's a 250-year gap without disaster due to lack of "modern" copyright laws.
And your view of it as an adversarial process is yours: Don't assume others see it as a vs situation.
Once more: In fashion, a
hyper-competitive industry, the
only protection is essentially the moral rights about attribution. And there is a similar lack of protection for food, cars and furniture: competitive markets which each dwarf the entire media sector.
And they are sectors where scarcity
still applies, as it does not in media!
