Re: Were Intellectual Property to be abolished altogether, would you or FSF support it?

[Aaron Wolf]

I support the abolition of copyright and patent law while keeping
trademark law and moving some important things to new laws:

- mandate source release for published works
- prohibit DRM
- expand trademark law to cover all forms of plaigiarism (some aspects
of that rely on copyright today, which is a bad legal structure)

Abolishing copyright and patent laws without the rest *might* still be
net positive, but it would definitely have a mix of pros and cons.
