When this becomes properly entrenched I fear that it may create a disincentive to create original content. If that happens we will all be poorer for it in return for amazing access to what we already have. I don't think it is a good deal.

It's my opinion that royalties are the reason we have so much horrifying junk in our culture. It has created a world where we are inundated with cultural garbage that people produced only to squeeze money out of copyrights.

I dream of royalties going away so that we only original content that was made for the love of expression, a feeling that it's important. I would be happy to have a LOT less stuff to look at if I didn't have to sift through so much garbage.

Of course, I am also in favor of UBI so that those creators can eat while they are doing it.
