    More people would be able to innovate on said “non IP”. Multiple lines could be developed by multiple independent teams, extending the non ip however they see fit. By encouraging competition, the better content would thrive.

    It lowers the barrier of entry, enforcing competition and lowering distribution cost. And without the ludicrous profit margins and legal overhead from big conglomerates, it would be cheaper for the consumers, and more of the fees could be distributed to the actual people working on the creation.

    This is prettyranty, sorry if it’s not too clearly articulated.

    The benefit is that there’s at least a goal that will benefit the poorest strata of society.

    Capitalism doesn’t address it at all. It’s every man for themselves and fuck everyone else. That’s textbook recipe for sick societies, like all capitalist societies on the planet. None of them work for the poorest of the people, none of them attempt to do so.

    It’s crisis after crisis, with random economical meaningless inflation fear mongering to get people to hate their fellow workers. To compete for an ever decreasing pool of jobs.

    But it is rational for any individual to not work as hard, because he will bear less of the cost of that work, but still realize the same gain

    They wouldn’t realise the same gain.

    More valuable work is better paid. Skilled management is likely to get better pay than menial work. Dangerous jobs get better pay than safer jobs.

    You are not allowed to become rich by exploiting others, though.

    From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs. - Marx in 1875.

    Its not about equality, it’s about fair distribution of goods and services produced by the society. As in, it is fair that national leaders get to fly planes to travel abroad frequently,for example.
