You have this backwards. Making copies is cheap, especially in the digital realm; that's why copyright law restricts the market for copies. If anything, copyright law is forward thinking and anticipated copying getting cheaper over time.
There's really no need for a "non-exclusive property market scheme"[0] either. The whole point of restricting copying is to make money move out of your wallet and to publishers and creators. The problem we have is that the copyright monopoly lasts far longer than what's needed to pay for the production of new creative works, so we're rewarding ownership of existing ones which is contrary to the point of the law.
