Imagining a world without copyright. Joost Smiers, Marieke van Schijndel
Copyright once was a means to guarantee artists of a decent income. Apart from the question as to whether it actually functioned as such —most of them never made a penny from and still don’t owe a penny to the system— we have to admit that copyright serves an altogether different purpose in the contemporary world. It now is the tool of conglomerates in the music, publishing, imaging, and movie industries to control their markets.
