Copyright is stifling to creativity, as now people are not incentivised to write fan-fictions.

People can still publish fan fiction as long as they get the copyright holder’s permission.

Copyright encourages creativity because the most creative work is done by the original work’s creator, and copyright protects that creation. Without that incentive, many original creators wouldn’t publish their creations in the first place.

Another way copyright promotes creativity is that it doesn’t allow creations that aren’t sufficiently creative.
