Copyright will be useful in promoting the progress of culture

Any new creation are all created by people's hardworking or some great idea though it's probably just some remix things. If anyone want to make a new creation, he has to pay a lot of time and effort to work on it.

Like “slide to unlock” by the Apple, many new creations don't really have too much value on themselves, but something valuable is the ideas. The creators spent a lot time, sometimes also a lot of money, to think of the new ideas, and make it true. At this time, if someone just come on and take your effort away and use it for free though you don't allow that, anyone will get really mad, right? If no one can protect your interest at this time, you will get really mad and sad because whatever your think is really great and how valuable your think is, everyone can just come on and take it though you don't like that. Do you think the creators will still trying to create any new things at this situation?

The copyright is the strong law to protect that interest. It can never make all the people don't use pirate things but it make at least eighty percent people get away from pirate things to buy the authentic things because they don't want to get into trouble and that don't really “waste” them too much. And with this eighty percent wealth to get back, the creators will probably be encouraged and make more useful and great things for people, and this is how copyright can be useful in promoting the progress of culture.
