Here is a link to the Pirate Party Australia's copyright policy: pirateparty.org.au/wiki/Policies/Copyright
Also here is a video of Mark Cuban talking about software patents: www.inc.com/mark-cuban/growco14-get-rid-of-software-patents.html
There is an interesting assumption that only the private sector can innovate and that the public sector is unable to innovate as efficiently as the private sector can. I think this is where the job guarantee could maybe help. Of course there needs to be a re-classification on what a job is and what consists as contributing to society? Would a society accept government funded hackerspaces? Large warehouses filled with 3d printers, laser cutters, soldering irons, 3d scanners, CNC milling machines, injection moulding machines, lathes etc with the only requirement being just to create something? That is your job, you are employed to create something, anything, whatever you want so long as it isn't something stupid that would be illegal. You have unrestricted and unconditional access to all the resources you could possibly need to develop a product.
So getting back to my earlier question, what is a job? must it result in the production of items solely for the purpose of being sold? i.e the private sector? could the public sector not create an iphone? obviously the iphone has been done, I was just using it as an example as to why the public sector couldn't innovate in the consumer market. The public sector wouldn't compete with the private sector, if the public sector released a product to the market first.
Here is another video about copyright expiring and then entering the public domain: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiEXgpp37No
Also, just to continue on the job guarantee copyright idea, here is a fan film series based on the original star trek series: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G-ziTBAkbQ if we had better copyright laws then a job guarantee could result in video and music content being produced.
