Yes? That being the whole intention of copyright law, which exists in every modern country in the world?
He also states it's reasonable to agree with such law, which it undoubtedly is.
But I think he's being reasonable too, suggesting there could be alternatives. Like most of us here, I make my living out of copyright law. But I'm far from sure it the best way to deal with compensating creative, trivially reproducible work.
For what it's worth: I'm not sure it's the "best" way, but I'm more sure that it's the optimal way in a market economy. Things should cost what they're worth to buyers, and coercion (which is what infringement is) should be taken out of that equation.
Copyright is a very double edged sword at best.
