feld (nprofile…xyvy) lain (nprofile…hmru) >for suspending copyright.
I'm all for terminating copyright just as long as making software proprietary is criminalized with mandatory sentencing.
>Counterfeit products should still be banned obviously
How is this related to copyright?
You can sell exact clones of products without copyright being relevant.
For products that have a trademarked name on them, cloning that product and putting the trademark on it is already illegal, as that would be trademark infringement.
>everyone should be able to make a copy of another product if they think they can do it better.
Patent law would need serious reform to allow for that.
>it puts enough pressure on the original inventor to improve their product >instead of sitting on their asses and collecting paychecks for the next few decades
Typically what happens is that the wagie who actually designed the product just gets a wage and it's the company that is collecting all the profits.
