I've been really grappling with the idea of copyright protection. I'm not sure I believe in the idea that you have the inherent right to profit from something you create independently from other people peoples right to copy the idea.

My reasoning comes from a more general principal that I've been exploring that all creativity is copying in some form. There is no novelty in a vacuum.

I'm not sure if its a hot take or even a good or logically coherent take. Just something I've been thinking.

I mean it depends on the context. Like getting rid of intellectual property while capitalism is still in full swing would really only screw over the small time artists, but in an ideal society it would be abolished.
