  voiding all IP law would literally bankrupt the entire media industry, crashing tens if not hundreds of billions out of the industry practically overnight.

  Why is it possible to sell copies of public domain books when we have libraries?

  because somebody physically produces the book wdym?

  btw just because something is in the public domain, doesn’t mean that every variant attached to it is, just the one specifically defined under law, a book that is in the public domain, but also on the shelves of a retailer, might not be a public domain work at all. Because it’s a different work entirely.

  I’m not even sure you can prevent the production of a work, just because it’s public domain, you just can’t hold copyright on it, so you could theoretically print and sell a book in the public domain legally, as long as you don’t declare that you own copyright.

  IP law and copyright is really important. It protects people from companies, and companies from bad actors.
