You've all had some very interesting answers for my last post so here is a question for you, how do you think about copyright in general and should it exist?

It's a good point another user also made. I'm thinking private patents that the government regularly purchases is probably more achievable. Otherwise, yeah, you'd have to employ people to estimate the value of an IP from rates of consumption, and it would be complicated
