This thinking is an artifact of an economic system so dependent on scarcity for its motivation that it is now generating most of the scarcity in the world.

We now have the technology for creative implementations of "From each according to its ability, to each according to its needs". Just keep track of how much each thing is used, and reward creators from a corporate-tax-funded pool. Every for-profit entity contributes proportionally to its profit, and can use any idea for free.

Even just having substantial "prizes" for the most widely used stuff (whether publicly or privately funded) would go a long way. (Most of our public funding for content creation now happens as grants, basically rewarding compelling ideas and then simply trusting that the reward money will be spent on doing worthwhile things. This does not work very well, for obvious reasons.)

Well said. The reality is that even in our current work without copyrigh a lot of value is added by creators who never see any real reward for it. Yet instead looking at how we can better reward creators we continue with continue with this insane system that has been shown be easily abused to concentrate wealth while having a massive cost for society by restricting what we all do and making everyone pay for enforcing those restrictions.

What you say was partially implemented in USSR. It killed any productivity because author (inventor) is discouraged from doing more. Why bother?
