> possibly even make money

Hate to say it, but I think this is the only reason why.

Thank the absurd copyright laws that grant a piece of work two lifetimes of money extraction (70 years after the death of whoever made it) for whoever "owns" it.

Good point. This debate got the queen consort and PM of UK to speak out, I wonder if you can get them to actually speak out on the incentives that actually matter for this issue here - among them copyright. (Of course we won't see anything like that.)
