> if too many people "steal", then there won't be enough revenue to even break even, let alone make a profit, and so no one will make movies anymore At current budgets. To make a movie all you need is a camera, and we pretty much all got one in our pockets at this point. Someone will make movies sans copyright. It just won't be a massive, entrenched studio on a billion budget. |

I think a question we should also ask, though, is: is there artistic and entertainment value in massive-budget blockbuster films? I think yes, there is. I mean, I certainly enjoy plenty of them. But is that worth our current copyright regime? I would say no. But, like anything else, I expect the sweet spot is somewhere in the middle. I don't think I would advocate for no copyright at all, but I would want it to be much more limited than it is now (even more limited than in the 90s, with 14+14-year terms, I'd say).
