Well, I guess we'll never see any developments in mathematics or theoretical physics. No copyright there except journals paywalling our work and paying us absolutely nothing. Oh wait...
We live in an era of copyblight - it's an era we won't leave until the caveman mentality of "this mine, no touch or I hurt" fizzles out. Give it another 5000 or so years maybe?
Don't the forget the extortionate textbooks gatekeeping who can understand the extortionate journals.
It's just th enclosure continuing in the non-physical space.
The thing that will bring down the copywrite system will be countries without copywrite making enforcement impossible.
