by metric on 2005-07-24 18:25:41Culture existed just fine before copyright law. The sort of culture that would be eliminated would be the works motivated by wealth. Musicians would still make music, writers would still write, and artists would keep doing what they enjoy doing. The only difference would be in their motivations. Yes, there would be fewer creations, but the creations that remained would be true works of art.
