From my point of view, the main benefit of copyright is that it does allow authors to make a living from their writing - the more successful ones full time, less successful part time supported by part time work of another nature and the rest more or less as hobby with some financial benefit - it means I have to wait for a shorter time to get a new book from my favoured authors... turn it all free/hobbyist and everybody can get everything but by having to earn a crust as well then the author will produce less...
