That's a big leap
For strict definitiond of necessary (see also sufficient) this is correct.

A is not necessary for B if a single instance of B exists without A.

In colloquial terms it is frequently used to suggest a recommendation with an imperitive need.

It worked before so why would copyright be in any way necessary?

You've replied to several of my posts in this thread, no need to play a fool
