       | This describes the vast majority of creative works and is
       | therefore a significant part of how we define creativity to begin
       | with. Very few people are capable of turning their lived
       | experiences into art without prior examples. Any character anyone
       | creates is copyrighted by default, does this mean we should ban
       | people from creating derivatives of _anything_?
       | 
       | The existing norms around intellectual property are broken. They
       | benefit the instrumental bean counters more than passionate
       | creators. We need copyleft, not copyright.
