> being restricted from replicating work harms culture and innovation as a whole

I believe that there is no "one size fits all" answer to this, and failing to get in front of that in discussion, harms the resulting thought. The societal situation of an individual using their talent to make arts or design, alone or in self-selected teams, is not the same as large companies who run market systems and have attorneys and accountants to aid that over time.

Lots of excited people argue against copyright and then go directly to the story of the Mickey Mouse image.

It is precisely because copying is so, so different than creating, that the situations within the breadth of this topic are not, and should not, be comparable.

"A great society is judged by how it treats the least of its members" very much applies to working arts and crafts adults IMHO.
