You’ve all had some very interesting answers for my last post so here is a question for you, how do you think about copyright in general and should it exist?

    Who said anything about random strangers? That would just be weird. I’m suggesting something more like a 100% inheritance tax due assets beyond a certain limit.

      Public domain literally means “random strangers.” I don’t see why my child (or whoever else I delegate) shouldn’t be able to control the works that I make before I pass. If they did continue my works with full control, then any half-finished book or movie or game or other piece of art would torture them with legal battles and little reward. Banning inheritable copyright is a death sentence for half-finished media.
