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?

No, because the only defense for its existence is to protect the livelihoods of creators, and if we're talking "should", no one should have to justify their existence through labor.

Sure, and I agree but I've seen people trying to kill copyright entirely before fixing the justify their existence through labor bit. Which is entirely wrong, the current world is as such if you killed copyright you'd put million of people out of work.
