This has already been discussed more than 100 years ago, when copyright was put into place (in England I think).
I can't find the link, I'm sure somebody else on the forum will. If not, I'll have a more thorough look when I'm back at home.
It was said that copyright is the "least objectionable" way of paying authors for their works, as opposed to public or private funding, where the state's or the sponsor's opinions influence the authors they choose and the amount of money they give them.
