#WhatIf we let go of #copyright?
1. All hell broke lose?
2. Creators would starve?
3. Software and all content would be copied and used in the most crazy ways!1. Maybe. But we'll get over that.
2. Most creators are not paid by enforcing copyright or royalty-collecting societies: It's by their fans.
3. Yes. But that's already the case, so it may actually get better.Copyright was meant to support creators, not to cripple the world.
With #GenAI it's reached its end soon anyways.

"Regret is far more expensive than failure" - Futurist Jim Carroll
--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
--Most people and organizations are paralyzed by a single, haunting question: "What if I fail?"
They spend months (sometimes years) conducting risk assessments and feasibility studies, all designed to protect themselves from the sting of a mistake. They personally try to avoid risk, or in the case of companies, have entire risk management teams, whose goal is to minimize and eliminate risk. They insulate themselves from bold moves because they cannot bear to see things go wrong.
And in doing so, they miss out on a lot of opportunity - and come to regret it later.
What's worse? Trying to do something and seeing it go wrong? Or thinking back years later, "I should have tried to do it!"
In my own 36-year voyage, I’ve learned that the most dangerous risk isn't the pivot that goes wrong: it's the pivot that never happens. We need to stop obsessing over the cost of a "miss" and start focusing on the only question that truly matters: "What if I never try at all?"
Think of it this way: failure is a temporary setback but a valuable asset. You can learn from it, adjust, and pivot again. But the idea of never trying at all results in a permanent loss of potential. You don't learn and become stuck where you are, missing out on the chance to go where you should be going.
I’ve sat in boardrooms with legacy companies that are now obsolete, not because they made a bad bet, but because they were too afraid to place a bet at all. They chose the "safety" of the status quo, only to find that the status quo had moved on without them.
The Infinite Pivot isn't about being fearless; it’s about being more afraid of standing still than you are of moving forward. When you look back at your career or your company’s history a decade from now, you won't remember the small stumbles.
You will only remember the doors you were too scared to open.
Remember: the risk of the unknown is manageable.
But the cost of "what if" or "if only" is infinite.

The trick is not keep driving in only one direction.
"This question comes from Michael, who asks: what’s the longest possible sunset you can experience while driving, assuming you’re obeying the speed limit and driving on paved roads?
To start, we have to define what we mean by “sunset"."
