That's an interesting approach; I'm certainly for UBI and universal healthcare also.

I wonder to what extent removal of the money / survival motive will impact all this sort of thing.

Will the government be free to find far fewer creator rights in (copies and derivatives of) their works, because creators' ability to survive is no longer on the line?

"Sure, person A claimed as their own something heavily derived from person B's original work, but since no money is at stake, we don't have to decide if that was okay." That sort of thing?

I can't decide if that would be great or awful atm. :)
