You could also argue that copyright results in excessive overproduction of
intellectual property; we may have more production today than ever before,
but we certainly have more production of utter crap today than ever before.
Without copyright we'd probably lose a lot of that production... but I
strongly suspect we'd lose far more of the crap than the worthwhile
material.
