That is an excellent argument from what I would also call the big picture perspective. I just usually use the utilitarian one because it just seems any time you want to argue about social fundamentals - be it anything from segregated bathrooms (of all varieties) to street naming to intellectual property, people get incredibly defensive about the status quo as if their livelihood depended on it - as if culture / information cannot be made without IP, rather than the reverse. I do think at some point in the future historians will look back and see the catastrophic death of culture permanent copyright wrought throughout the 20th / 21st centuries as a huge crime against humanity. We are sad we have few historical recounts of ancient Egyptian / Greek / Roman living, or even moreso ancient Mesoamerican peoples, or the Babylonians, but we seem perfectly complacent in how some ~95% of all music, film, photography, writing, and even probably code is lost forever because of copyright meaning if the owners take it to their grave it stays dead with them. It is just a tremendous disservice to humanity to just let so much creative work die like that, and how generations have now grown and died without any of the commercial works of their childhood ever being accessible to their own creativeness in their lifetimes.
