Unfortunately, copyright laws stopped being about "promotion of the arts" a long time ago, and are purely to serve the greed/power interests of the corporations.
And what exactly is reasonable? Who will determine what is "reasonable"? Do you want to be the one to suggest that we impose profit restrictions on someone's work? How would you feel if you were told that you could no longer make a profit on a product, despite a demand?
