Nope, copyrights isn't the issue, they enable people to earn money from their creativity, the issue is rather that they are way too long.
Back in the 1780s copyright lasted 14 years after the work was created.
This is fine, the current obscene legnth of copyright is terrible.
I'd be fine with copyright being like 20 years or so, that's plenty of time to make a good amount of money from your work IMO. But yeah the current system where some corporation gets to keep cashing in on something half a century after the author is dead is pretty ridiculous.
people have always been able to earn money from their creativity. copyright is just corporate greed.
Copyright provides the legal framework to ensure the copyright holder has their rights protected.
it's a fictional right.
Technically every right and every prohibition is fictional...
