The current system, while horribly broken, is better than nothing. Copyright, as originally envisioned, would serve to protect authors of creative works. I think the best world would have separate and different copyright laws for different types of works, while also encouraging and protecting the contribution of original works to the public domain (tax breaks, etc.). I do think the current laws for software are completely busted though. Did you know the doubly-linked list is copyrighted?
