The copyright laws were only changed to make those in all countries conform with each other. The U.S. has traditionally had the weakest copyright laws and U.S. artists and composers are arguably the worst paid in the world.
Intellectual property is the only property right than any individual has. Most big corporations would love to see copyright go away hence endless press releases promoting that idea. They wag their fingers at the few corporations who actually pay people for art while their gun is pointed at every individual artist and songwriter's head.
Turning music into strictly a hobby is not promoting the arts, it is cannibalizing music.
