Free are imagining a world with no IP protection.

No. If there is no IP protection, Amazon will just be able to take people’s work.

Totally agree, but removal is not a good option.

Because Amazon stole it, made a copy available for 1/10 the price.

The marketing power of Amazon is 10’s of thousands of times greater than the original author, so you probably never hear that the book you are interested in has an author that is different from the one Amazon puts on the cover, who is a pen name of their “AI author”.

Note: I think IP law is a bit shit really, but removing any protection from creative works is dangerous, and extremely short sighted. If you don’t want to reward the corporations, learn to pirate…piracy is far more ethical than calling for the removal of IP law.
