We just need a forever expanding attribution list, even if we get rid of copyright.
X was created by Dave, Y was created by Eliza based on work by Dave, Z was created by Joaquin based on work by Dave and Eliza and so on.
Academics already do this when citing sources, just make everyone else do it too.
Academics are supposed to do this when citing sources, now it's more like "here's a paper with a title that looks relevant whose abstract I barely read at the end of this sentence to make it look more authoritative" or "Here's the last paper I wrote on this subject."
5 self-referencing papers deeper, "oh, you actually did take the time to write the methods...10 years ago."
It happens so much!
"What was this based on and how did I change it" is a great start to an alternative to copyright.
"Bee movie but it speeds up every time they say 'bee' " is the gold standard for artistic attribution.
Me providing citations for my fanfiction like: "Gundam but I made it even gayer."
