Word salad.

Again: the explicit purpose of copyright is to provide the public with new works. After a fixed limited time, all works belong in the public domain. If you want copyright to be anything but that, I would rather not do copyright at all.

It's not a right. That name is a lie. It's a monetary incentive. And once someone's made their money, that's that. It's ours now. The deal worked.
