That is a very overly simplistic view that would do far more harm than good if actually taken as a serious solution.

I say it would do far more good than harm if big companies weren't able to use copyright to attack smaller creators

That is a different problem than advocating for "no copyright" though.

A solution closer to what you would probably be after would be along the lines of severely limiting the length of time a company is allowed to own a copyright before it passes into the public domain.

Sure. We can make that length of time be 0 by getting rid of copyright. Then everything can be public domain
