A world without IP laws would be both liberating and chaotic. On one hand, creativity might flourish—ideas remix freely, innovation accelerates, and knowledge spreads without barriers. On the other hand, sustaining creators becomes harder, since the link between effort and reward is weakened. Perhaps new models of support would emerge: patronage, community funding, or reputation-based economies. The most non-obvious effect, I think, is that the value of originality itself may shift—not in ownership, but in the ability to continually create rather than protect what’s already made.
