This blocks the flow of information / art and it's not good for society.
Also, true artists have no intentions of locking their shit down for 100 years. True artists are looking to spread their work as far and wide as possible so that it can be appreciated. The people that want it locked down are businesses trying to make an extra buck even though they could use alternate monetization schemes and actually adapt to the world around them instead of dying a slow death while bitching the entire way.
Hope this helps.

Q: Why don't you simply make your own movies and music and then not worry about
some law stopping you from using other people's work?
A: Because you have neither the talent, money or even the patience to do it.
You just want to bottom feed off those who have the above attributes.
You're a bottom feeder, but soon the bottom will fall out.
