If I build a house with my own bought bricks, cement, and labor, I own it. You don't. You can't live in it, rent it out or take it from me without my permission.
I create pictures and videos with my own money, skills and equipment. So why do you think you have the right to take it from me?
Can I take what you create from you?
Copyright is the enforcement of property rights. Just like the law on theft is the enforcement on my rights to keep what I own.
Without enforcement of copyright laws you wouldn't have a computer to work on. Because who would bother to invent anything or write a program if the moment it's made someone can steal it and copy it over and over again?
