Copyright has always been a tricky balance. Trying to distinguish between inspiration and a ripoff. Let authors make a living, but not put the entire shared culture behind a paywall. Allow education, parody, commentary without creating loopholes for freeloaders (with lots of grey areas, flaws, gaps, and abuses in practice).
If copyright didn't exist, we'd have even more paranoid DRM used to defend commercial interests. If copyright was harsher, we'd get more walled gardens and DMCA-silencing.
