This idea is certainly a possible understanding of how creative

Instead, in our tradition, intellectual property is an instrument. It
sets the groundwork for a richly creative society but remains
the other. Copyright law at its birth had only publishing as its concern;
copyright law today regulates both.

Before the technologies of the Internet, this conflation didn't matter
all that much. The technologies of publishing were expensive; that
Byzantine complexity that copyright law has become. It was just one
