I don’t get your argument. So because it’s “new” according to your grand cosmic scale, it doesn’t exist at all?
You can say “I think intellectual property is a dumb idea” and I’d love to hear your arguments for that, but to act like it isn’t real just because we came up with the idea relatively recently, is just asinine.
It is 100% correct. There was no concept of owning a story or a song just because you told it first, throughout literally all of history until the copyright laws of the 20th century.
And my point is that the literal entirety of human culture is based on a tradition of storytelling, something copyright expressly forbids.
Copyright is not a system that aligns with our natural inclinations or the way we evolved. It’s a crude, child like attempt to cram information into a capitalist mold that doesn’t work.

Brother, copyright has been around since at least the 1700s, you’re literally just making things up right now. Read a book.

Read the above comments then.
Again, read my comments. I didn’t say it wasn’t real, I said it has no basis in human culture or history.
Not only is this incorrect, it would be meaningless even if it was accurate. What point are you even trying to make with this claim?
