Basic copyright seems necessary when it comes to art.
Personally, I would be willing to give up "art as we know it" for fully open source society, but I imagine professional artists being upset over this.
When it comes to science there is both big pros and cons.
But with recent Youtube policy of demonetizing videos for having seconds of other person's footage, which used to fall under "fair use", I think pretty much everyone (except big corporations) is in favor of reducing copyrights.

I don't think art will die if copyright did.

"art as we know it"

Whether it's painting something on canvas, mural or Sistine chappel, copyright doesn't even come to it.

"art" as we know it

And lots of digital arts is released on other funding models to begin with such as Patreon.

Commissions.

Comissions for what? You can just take someone else's photo and edit it a bit and there you go. Why pay comissions

Considering it's illegal to take photographs outside, with a known building on the background, behind your friend, I think pressure to destroying copyright is already past the point of salvaging copyright.

Which country are we talking about?

And the CP promoters are just pushing more and more dystopian levels of protection, more dystopian levels of monitoring, and more dystopian jurisdictions for both police and private investigators. And extortion letters, etc.

In the USA at least you can't actually be prevented from taking pictures on public property last time I checked

@Yuukimaru Some countries in Europe has copyright extended to architecture. And the consider the copyright to belong to the architect, not the photographer.

Ok. I still think reducing copyright is more politically viable than abolishing it completely

Same could be said about fixing the EU.

Yet both the copyright holders and EU resist being regulated or fixed. Of course they do. The critique is coming from outside.

To check whether you have the right to take pictures of buildings and art placed in public areas, check: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama

EU copyright is a joke at this point, it's barely legal to even post links

Both EU and copyright are jokes separately. You don't even need to combined them to make a joke.

```Why should I care what a KKK Grand Wizard thinks?```
Because all people have the right to tell their opinion. Just because he was in the KKK doesn't make him a bad person.
I'd say he might be a Pacifist and totally against violence
