Thus far the arguments in that favor are as follows
1) I wrote it it's mine!
Which is easily rebutted with, copyright expires posthumously by a not insignificant amount of time, generally the life span of another person born the day you die. As it isn't property, we should not treat it as property.
2) It's only not the law because it's not the law
Yes, this is what you're trying to change. It is not the reason for a change to happen. There are a great many things there are laws against which people would argue shouldn't be against the law. Just because they wish it so does not mean it's a good idea.
