The entitlement comes from it existing, once you put something out there it belongs to the public forever. Laws around this are designed to create incentive but it does far more to lock out folks who could benefit/enjoy it but otherwise would never experience it. I don't think you have a right to have the Mona Lisa in your house but you have a right to see reproductions forever and I want that for digital art too.
