I personally fear that if such a decision was passed, we would see big companies find loopholes and exceptions and/or they would make their profit entirely by stealing from creators without compensation or acknowledgements.
You want to hurt the big companies so badly you’re willing to saw the branch they, you and everybody else sit on just so you can see them fall.
I doubt the big companies will be the ones who will feel threatened into negotiations if IP laws were abolished. They would flourish with their businesses and the AI tech bros would have field day making billions by stealing from all of us.
I didn’t say “utopia”. We need IP laws. But since we continue to let Disney (and other mega corporations) dictate the entire terms of engagement - we need to bring “burning the whole thing down and starting over” into the list of options under consideration. It’s the only way to bring Disney back to the bargaining table, at minimum.
Edit: A more practical approach would be to disolve every company that has engaged in an illegal merger (most large US companies). But I think that’s actually harder to accomplish, today, than voiding all IP law. It’s a better option, if we can swing it. The necessary laws are already on the books, they’re simply un-enforced.
Why on earth does every interpretation you have start with the assumption that people advocating for the destruction of IP are not also simultaneously arguing for the destruction of any company who could find a workaround? You’re approaching this from the silliest angle ever. The person you’re arguing against doesn’t exist. Anyone who is truely against IP also wants any company who is currently profiting off of IP to be destroyed along with it
It’s such a weird take. Also, “creator” shouldn’t be a job. Nothing that isn’t critical to human survival should be part of the monetary system. Art should only exist for arts sake and everyone should be afforded enough time to pursue it fully without worrying about survival
No IP + universal income is the only moral way forward
I believe it would be darker than mere loopholes. Corporations would probably both protect their own IP and steal each others’ IP through militant means. Like, Cyberpunk 2077 could become reality.

Your utopia is every creator’s nightmare.
