The very laws you refer to, of copyright, state in their preambles the purpose of them is to incentivise innovation. But that's not how those who claim copyright actually operate. Innovation suffers, and copyright is the centre of how big corporations and government keep technology from leapfrogging them. It is understandable that they would do this, since they can sit pretty and profit while doing nothing, but it is not in the interests of the people who they claim to be subject to these laws, not one bit, whatsoever.
