What makes you think that artists and writers cannot be paid like every other working person in the world?
Copyright just makes sure that artists and writers are being paid just like every other working person in the world. You are suggesting that they are supposed to be the only ones who shouldn't get paid. The nature of their work just makes copyright necessary today. Some artists (like a sculptor) do not need that protection, since each piece cannot be duplicated. Or rather a duplicate made by somebody else would not be an exact copy.
