Put it in another way: to become a author in a world where copyright is not a thing is pretty much impossible. Either you have to sell your book digitally with draconian DRM - and you will still get your book stolen or you have to own your own print shop, because if you send your book to any publisher they can just take your work and publish it as their own.
And let's be real the amount your bike wears out from me riding it to the shop and back is so negligible that it won't make a difference in the life span of the bike.
There are good reasons to have copyright - however I do not like how long the copyright is. I've stated it before that in my mind good copyright would be something like 10-20 years or life time of the author whatever comes later. This would allow any creative to hold the right to their world/characters/whatever until they are gone and it wouldn't discourage them from publishing in their old age since even after they have passed their families would still benefit from the works for sometime.
I thought about this a bit more, and I agree that it is useful that giant software automatons and conglomerates should not get the benefit human creativity until they pass down the value to the creators. Automation should mean less work for everyone, not hyper-profiteering for the few.
