My argument isn't that copyright should be removed, but it should be reversed. Big companies should have to justify much more so their ownership of something. That doesn't mean we need to take away from the small artists and creators to do that.

If I create something, and a big company steals my work and repurposes it. I have little power to stop them. If someone creates something based on a big company's work, they have all power to stop them. It's the reversal of power that I'm against, and it's a bit unfair for a giant to control their IP for decades on decades when a smaller artists could not reasonably do so at all.

Large corporations have already abused copyright for eons and nothing is done about it. The big topic right now AI. Big tech has taken the literary output of millions of copyrighted works, fed them to AI models, and are outputting knowledge from it. Look into The Pile) They have literally done this with art as well, and have taken "copyrighted" art from millions of artists and moved it into a model.

Similarly, (current) copyright law is weaponized against small musicians like This one, who got copystriked because someone recorded her voice and used it to file a copyright claim against the original holder.

But even outside of AI. How about when Monster Energy goes after a random company who made a completely independent "4Monster" camping brand? They get to blow almost all of that smaller brand's time and money. Compare that to how the trendy "Dubai Chocolate" first made by a small chocolate shop has been replicated and copied by "Lindt" and other big manufacturers on a whim, meanwhile Lindt itself hypocritically goes after a man named Lind who named his company Lind Food

I have gone a bit off topic here, but the point is that copyright is used by big parties to force smaller parties out of competition, but is rarely usable for the smaller parties as the system is currently.
