Problem is, if there was no planning was done for their financial future, having copyright or not will not protect them. Plus what about those who do not own any copyright? Why should they be expected to plan for their future, and the copyright owner be allowed to just skate by on the copyright. Plus that is assuming the copyright is profitable, which many copyrights are not.
