> Copyright is what facilitates copyleft.

Chesterson's fence. The existence of copyleft is the result of being forced to live within the domain of copyright, not the other way around.

> Getting rid of IP protections also rids us of GPL, which gave us a few things including the most popular OS in the world.

Linux became popular because of the persistent effort of Linus & the Linux community into making the kernel better, not because of copyleft.

There are similar corporate interests who profit off of hoarding decades-old works so they can charge fees to what should've been in the public domain, under the original durations that should've stayed (28/14 years).

What has resulted from the endless extensions of the original terms has been the societal lobotomization of human creativity, with an untold number of works now being forever lost simply because they were derived from what should've been in the public domain.

When having lived in such a society, and recognizing existing copyright laws as the reason why it is creatively in such a state, the celebration of its destruction should not be treated as illogical.
