Eliminating copyright doesn't mean they'd be allowed to lie about who wrote what they were publishing. Anything an artist creates blowing up and gaining wide appreciation is very good for that artist's future prospects. An artist who is spreading their work for free anyway is much better off in the scenario where there's no copyright and everyone understands the need to tip / patronize their favorite artists.

That is literally what Copyright is. Removing it means exactly that.

No copyright is about the "right" to "copy" the work in question, not the attribution. Works that are in the public domain still list the author.
