what is the purpose of copyright laws?

- to ensure everyone has a right to profit from their original work
- to make sure everyone has equal access to content
- to distribute content for free via the internet
- to establish channels for selling original content

The purpose of copyright laws is to ensure that creators have the exclusive right to profit from their original work, protect their intellectual property from being copied or distributed without permission, and promote innovation and creativity by providing creators with incentives to produce new works. It is not meant to ensure equal access to content or distribute content for free, but rather to establish channels for selling original content in a way that benefits the creators.
