Copyright is finally being deprecated as it should be.

I'm still waiting for an update on the final removal timeline.

Yes. I am an anti-copyright extremist.

May the best implementation win.

Otherwise, everyone loses out so that one individual can artificially collect rent through a government-enforced monopoly.

Accelerate.

I write novels. What am I supposed to do to earn in this new, copyright-free regime where anyone is free to “implement” my novels?

Attract an audience and ask for patronage or get a job writing on behalf of an employer.

Leads to a class system where those who actually create for society are parasitically leeched on by a class whose wealth only exists because of another government enforced monopoly.

It's called feudalism. The lords have a monopoly not just on the means of production, they own the full stack of society and economy in their domain.
