Yes, useful effort should be given useful reward, this is not what we are attempting to discuss here. Given the tone of the OP I do not think we are even discussing the merits, supposed or otherwise of copyright.
Might I submit to you the plight of future virtuosos, who might not be able to afford the work of virtuosos past because of copyright? And therefore might not be able to become as virtuous as they could have, had we not NOW implemented a new version of copyright?
