In the absence of copyright things like the GPL would have no power - a company could take your work and bundle it into their product and never contribute anything back ever.

And then you could copy what they produced the result without paying them, I expect the pirate sites would still exist without copyright.

In the abscence of copyright, copying some company's work would not be a crime either.
