Anything that weakens copyright is something that should be supported. Copyright has expanded well beyond its original goals to in fact be a harm to those goals

Copyright (in the US) was NOT in fact created to protect creators, it was to encourage creation and advance science. Today copyright is being used to curb and monopolize creation and prevent advancement (case in point this very story)

On the other hand, copyleft licenses are being used to protect creators. Without copyright protection, what is stopping companies from blatantly violating even more open-source licenses?

note I never said anything about elimination of copyright completely, I said weaken it.

The original copyright term was for 14 years, not for Life.
