Ok, it may be that in the US, in which case I think it is wrong.
However, copyright, or "Urheberrecht" is not for the benefit of society
where I come from, nor do I think it should be.
Patents, that is a different story, but art, no.

Just out of curiosity, why do you think that patents are for the
benefits of society while arts are for the benefits of the creator only?
Ultimately it's the arts which make society better in my opinion, not
patents. I realize that you may not share that opinion.
