With an increase in population comes an increase in creators. With an increase in life expectancy comes more time for them to create. With an increase in literacy comes an increase in the number of people that can create. With laws that allow people to have time to themselves and not work all the time comes the opportunity to create. With art classes in schools comes the opportunity for children to figure out that they are able to create. With the internet comes the opportunity to share the creations with the world. With every technological advancement comes the opportunity to make new kinds of art.
Creativity doesn't come from copyright.
