It it not just about content creation, it is about cultural participation. The insanely long and draconic copyright laws the US has cripples the national culture by restricting the common arts (which in modern times includes artful film and interactive media) to pretty much only things from the 19th century and earlier.<p>It also destroys culture. It is why we have lost a supermajority of 20th century film, art, and music. Nobody can reproduce it to preserve it, so the original creators copies are destroyed or lost and the material is then lost forever, because its over a hundred years after its creation before is freed to us.<p>These kinds of laws, if put in place and enforced for a century, would systemically ruin the cultures of all the participating nations and any innovation they may produce, because US IP law is so fundamentally broken that any truly creative endeavor will be crippled by false claims while anything successful will be kept behind paywalls and restricted access to control the social culture of the society for over a century, or longer if Disney gets its way.
