You understand that without copyright the underlying content wouldn't exist, right? Piracy isn't a sustainable strategy unless it is a small fraction of consumers. Am I missing something here?

Is it, really? Not OP but I think there is a lot of room for alternative business models that doesn't have to depend on copyright. It's just that copyright already taken a hold on most people's mind so they default to it.


I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong, but what business models could exist sustainably without the creators of the content having copyright?
