The idea of copyright was to benefit us the users of the copyrighted work.
It's a trade-off they get a limited (originally it was anyway) monopoly in exchange we get progress in science and the useful arts.
Now we probably don't need it. Thanks to the Internet producing and spreading ideas is cheaper and less risk is involved on the artist/scientists part. (no more supply and demand issues)
