Sure, and one whose economics could be supported without made up rules about how to exchange information that can be copied for free. That is what I claim.
In other words, I believe artists and drug manufacturers alike would still find ways to fund important work even without intellectual property law or secrecy of information.

Yeah movies would be reduced to commercials. Commercials are free after all, so that proves it is possible. So we would probably still have movies like Transformers and Star Wars, so I guess geeks would be happy.
I don’t make movies but I have been working nights and weekends for nine months on a robot design [1] that is CC0 licensed, which means no copyright public domain.
The work can be a reward on its own, and work done by this kind of passion has a character very different from a massively for profit movie. Personally I’d enjoy the art more if we had no copyright. Then only those passionate about the art would make it, and people would fund what they enjoy. I’d vastly prefer that system.
