The more I think about it, America would look very different if there was no copyright. There wouldn't be the huge companies that we have today. For example Disney has the sole rights to produce Mickey Mouse based products, but if anyone anywhere could produce Mickey Mouse based products, then suddenly a hole lot less money is streaming into Disney, and just take that effect and multiply it out=no more mega corps.
It would change the face of commerce and to that effect even employment, you'd probably have many more small businesses and a lot less "corporations".
In any case it would have very far reaching effects...
