Is this question being asked in a way that we actually get to choose? Because the obvious choice is general purpose computing plus a free society. But rather it feels that what is being picked for us is copyright, and only copyright.

Individuals could then be left with a choice whether to support their creators or not, which would be a better bargain for many creators without the middlemen taking hefty cuts.
