Copyright and Private property kind of go hand in hand where they basically exist so someone can’t “steal” your property and profit off of it themselves.
But it’s been talked over a bunch and I don’t wanna repeat the points that provide compelling and reasonable arguments for why it could/should be abolished. Or how should we abolish it.
I’m more interested in the identity aspect of it. Copyright law doesn’t actually do anything to make sure your attribution to something you’ve put your work into stays. Capitalists love turning things into hobbies so you work for free in a precarious environment and they can keep stealing from you and copyright anything you made, that they see they can extract value from. They will copyright anything and everything their wallet allows them to and hold it all hostage.
