> the point of copyright to begin with, which is to incentive people to create things

Is it?

(I don't agree)

Yes, it is. It's not actually an opinion thing. It's a "what did the people who came up with the idea of copyright think it was for?" thing.

I haven't read the primary source material, so you could teach me something here, but my understanding is that the idea was to incentive creators.
