You are merely restating the problem, not putting forward a solution. That's not really adding to the debate.

Copyright exists to solve a genuine problem. When it was conceived in the 18th Century, is was explicitly to encourage and reward the creation of new works (such as Windows 9) that would enrich the public domain.

Few people would argue that the problem has gone away. The current debate is whether the copyright mechanism is still a viable solution.
