> Do you enjoy feature films? Video games? Television shows?

not really no, I like stand up comedy, music, indie films, art that people make because they feel compelled to make art, not because they've done the math on the best return-on-investment

My ideal funding model is kickstarteresque, raise X amount and then publish

I consider copyright contradictory to free speech, I can say whatever I want unless it's already been said? what?

> the wholesale abolition of copyright would violate the United States Constitution.

That's what amendments are for.

How do you think such people buy food and heat their homes.

- Patronage

- Crowdfunding

- Other forms of payment for creation rather than distributing copies

- Government grants

- UBI

Those are just the super obvious ones. Generally when something is considered valuable, society finds ways to pay for it. Not allowing copyright and patent parasites collect as much means there is more that can be spread to actual creators.

Or they could work on something else that is not as easily copied - there will always be others driven to create art.

That there are business models profiting from certain laws should not exclude those laws from being reconsidered. In a way, copyright is like pollution: externalizing the costs to everyone else for your own profit.
