Because without copyright then copying would make producing pointless.
What would stop anyone from buying one copy of a piece of material that can be easily copied and setting up shop selling it? Therefore making the original producers work pointless and making future production pointless?

the fair use of commentary should 100% protect every single upload to tube sites, because the commentary "OMG this is an amazing dance routine"
should be as protected by the first ammendment as the original broadcast.
that statement makes no sence without the right to clip the video and show it. which means that stement is being censored every time such a clip is being taken down by a DMCA takedown request.
yet you guys are arguing that the law be strengthed even more, so that type of "abuse" (how dare people post a portion of my content for commentary purposes) be stopped cold.
that the point, it not an arguement for the abolishment of copyright laws, just an arguement against this type of bullshit "strengthening" of the existing laws.
