It wouldn't be fair to abruptly do away with them, but we need to phase them out. Yes, you’re responding to incentives given by the protection of copyright and patent laws.

It has been a huge undertaking and I have spent hundreds of hours on it. Without copyright protection someone could take this book as is and legally sell it as their own. I would have no way to stop them other then printing the exact same book and trying to out market them. That would make no sense at all. qs,

They're particular products that require particular labor. Is free speech free when someone else can take your speech and claim it as their own? I don't know if that's a free speech issue. There's also freedom of the press. Does freedom of the press mean that people should be free to republish any book, movie, image, etc. that anyone else makes? These aren’t mere ideas or speech. They’re particular products that require particular labor.

You shouldn't be able to own ideas and speech. These laws violate the first amendment and are a threat to internet freedom. We need to do away with all patent and copyright law.
