Copies are not scarce, but the human effort to create the original is. Copyright in its origin was a time limited adaptation of property to non material, creative works (not ideas, those are not copyrightable) and most derivates of it to incentive this effort. It's a compromise to combat the tragedy of the commons for the mutual benefit of the author and the general public. Modern copyright has nothing to do with this and is indeed highly dystopic. |
