[polypodiopsi]

As arbitrary as the rest of the capitalist framework. These arbitraty constraints are interdependent though. So while you might be right you can not just drop copyright (on whose existence the livelihood of a lot of people depends), but you will have to let go of thr whole assumption that the production of surplus value goes into private profits (or way above average incomes for that). Something is telling me that this isn't as appealing to you as getting your ressources for free by the expropriation of intellectual property, is it?
