askBeehaw: should copyright even exist at all? and if it should, how long *should* the ideal term of copyright be? in c/chat@beehaw.org

The reason this doesn't work is because there is no agreed price for someone's time. If I research for a book for 20 years while I was living on my normal paycheck how much money should I make before relinquishing my copyright? If I paint a breathtaking picture in 5 minutes on a napkin I will abolish my copyrights after selling a copy for 3$?

I anticipate Reddit, Inc. will attempt to downplay the effect by focusing on numbers that take engagement out of the picture

You pretty much described every corporation in the history of mankind. This is what they always do.
