Steem Isn't Copyrighted, the whole idea of blockchains is to be open source, open source is fundamentally against IP. Creativity has happened despite Copyrights, in fact, the very first law regarding copyright was to censor and not to protect.
People didn't suddenly become more creative simply because a publisher could pimp them out. People have created art and music and been compensated in less freedom encroaching ways and logic assaulting basis than through copyrights.
Copyright advocates forever hold onto the myth that it spawns creativity, but this has never been demonstrated, what has been demonstrated is that both technological advancement and the age of enlightenment were stalled for a long time, the effect of which the petty compensation by this method could never offset, and it accrues still, people having to be dragged in court over downloading music because copying is stealing, what an abuse of logic.
Being compensated for something that is INFINITE and can be exchanged with the most effortless grace to countless people, with something finite, which comes through the sweat and brow of people usually. Compensation so as to keep art or idea in artificial scarcity, so as to monopolize on being the first to think or create it and to be enforced by and large for the detriment of consumers and for the appetite of the producers even though there are plenty of other means to be compensated besides hoarding over ideas.
Even though it says it promotes creativity, it can be demonstrated that it only stops people from pursuing something further and forces them to either pay or think of something better, like the fidged spinner which was stalled by 25 years sitting behind patent protections only to be capitulated once the ideas were free from the clutches of these poor sods that believe someone is going to protect them, all the while they exploit them, and hoping that the act of hoarding ideas will provide them with a big fish on the hook.
Copyright it's the antithesis of freedom in the aspect of freedom of thought and in the finality of freedom of expression for it's quite inconsequential who thoguht of it first and completely selfish, and nobody stops anyone from capitalizing on the first movers advantage, but alas the Fear Of Missing Out is one among the many fear-based emotions that rule people, instead of using their mind to think on how to capitulate on any idea, that is if they're not too enthraled with becoming a gazillionaire off their fidged spinner, only to not be able to afford to keep the patent after t hadn't been used for 25 years and watch them make money while they get nothing.
IP as @Ned and @Dan have demonstrated in their posts, in their support is not something that can be made better, the concept is flawed inherently.
