I'm only going to mildly disagree with you here.   I agree with what you write, but I feel the word you use is outdated.   Copyright originally was a way to protect one person from lazily gaining profit from another's work.  (An example of this was shown in an episode of Little House on the Prairie Season 5, Episode 17, titled "The Craftsman.") <-- I looked that up on deepseek as I didn't know how to word the query on Google.  Now, some could argue that search engines like Google have been committing copyright for years.  Another argument could made for Grammarly, who does not cite the author of the books they get their rules from.    I'm not trying to point out holes in your argument, instead I'm trying to argue that the entire concept of copyright has to be reimagined; the information (value) of each idea is now available instantly to everyone.     If we could redo the copyright industry, imagine how less expensive things like vehicles could become?   Manufacturers pay each other for ideas they would have discovered anyway - with faster AI, two competitors can come up with the same idea just minutes apart. 

TLDR: The copyright industry is outdated, so I'm going to lean towards a more modern approach and give authors the benefit of the doubt and deal with extreme cases.
