npub1ztwwm735p4rfhcnacrqrgezvyq0w3v3mpl9xg7fh0wnj2sdakahqg0adrs (npub1ztw…adrs) It won't. Our current copyright regime is baked into law via international treaties signed by ~190 governments. Worse: it underpins *other* treaties, including the entire World Trade Organization and World Intellectual Property Organization. You can't abolish it in one state—you'd need to achieve global consensus (including China, Russia, Libya, Ruritania, etc), getting *everyone* to agree to make the change. The existing system took decades to achieve. Any replacement would be worse.
