Because current material conditions require that workers hold a copyright on their productions lest they be denied compensation required for survival under our capitalist system.
You don’t stop paying rent just because housing should be a right.
We all know what the better system should be, but we need to get there.
Anything that is a right still costs money (or someone's time and effort). It should be affordable, or subsidized by the government (paid by taxes) but nothing is free. Education, Healthcare, housing, clean water, etc.
The biggest problem is that workers generally dont hold those rights, the people they contract with do.
These laws aren't protecting workers, they're protecting corporations, they're protecting capital. Unless that changes, IP laws are so broken there's no point in honoring them except to avoid punishment.
Its basically better to go around them and support workers directly than to try and give them a pittance through their taskmasters.
Maybe you don't. They call me Papa Squat for a reason
I thought it was because you’re always shitting in the yard
There can be more than one reason
