If intellectual work can’t be protected, then be prepared for a lot less of it to be done.

China seems to be repeating the same recipe right now.


China has copyright law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_in_China

"In most cases the copyright term is the life of the author plus 50 years, but for cinematographic and photographic works and works created by a company or organization the term is 50 years after first publication."


Unfortunately it's hard to study this today.
