Ok, so let's get rid of copyright. Now the embarrassing problem is that markets are terrible at incentivizing the creation of what-was-previously-known-as-IP.

Or so it is claimed. Recipes and clothes designs don't have copyright (in the US), yet we don't see to be lacking in them.

I'm not arguing against copyright. I'm arguing against the (ludicrous) pretense that Disney operates in a free market.
