We used to have a fair solution for this that allowed authors to have a monopoly for a decent amount of time in the US Constitution. Then Congress decided to steal from the people (Public Domain) and give to their corporate sponsors.
Not sure why this was downvoted. The copyright privilege granted to the government to spur the creation of arts has unquestionably been warped over the years by corporate IP attorneys. You can support copyrights, patents, and trademarks while understanding that.
Honestly the whole idea of Intellectual Property is a sham that demeans the value of Real Property and possessions, but that's a different discussion.
