And why could the answer be anything else than "no"?
The numbers here are somewhat misleading because solar has such a low capacity factor. 50GW capacity probably equates to something like 10GW of average power output (ie about 10GWYr of output across a year - somewhere around five hours of peak output per day) though calculating the exact figure would require detailed knowledge of where it was all installed.
Solar can easily supply the same amount of kWh per year as Wp installed. So 50 GWp installed capacity (I assume that is what they mean) should deliver 50,000 GWh every year. Even at my high latitude of 51. The USA shows a general not less than 1.2 kWh/Wp and going up to 2 kWh/Wp. So I'd imagine it wil be better than 1. The 10GWYear that you mention would equate to 8,760 GWh (because 8760 hours in a year).
The main disadvantage about solar is that it delivers power in peaks and is therefore only useful if you can also store energy (or use other sources of energy at night or when there is less sunshine) and given sufficent penetration of solar, you will have more energy than you need if you have no storage.
And again: are you applying this only to the arts and performances or to everything anyone makes? Let's say I make a nice table for myself, would anybody be free to take it and distribute it in the world? No, it is mine to do with because I made it. The same goes for music, I can decide that you can have it, but I can also decide that you have to pay to listen to it.
No, obviously, that would be stealing your table, a physical thing.
There. That is the point of my argument. Stop making it about IP. I have never talked about IP or inventions. My music that I write is also a physical thing. It is my creation, it is written notes. It is not an invention to be ruled by IP law.
Over the shoulder supervision is more a need of the manager than the programming task.
