There are many arguments on many sides about this topic. See the arguments concerning Sci-Hub for just one nexus. Or the arguments to the US Library of Congress for what should be excluded from certain parts of copyright protection. Or the arguments for the right-to-repair.

One of the arguments for copyright-as-a-concept is that it encourages "creativity of individuals in society".
One of the arguments against copyright-as-it's-currently-implement is that it discourages that creativity.
