Copyright laws are a really important protection for people who make money off their creative work. If someone works as an artist of any kind, having other people make money off it or take credit unfairly can be really damaging. Essentially, it protects people from stealing their business without actually doing any work. However, this can limit artist's freedom, because they could infringe upon something by accident and get fined. It can make derivative works risky, because of the reason just mentioned. Personally, I wouldn't suggest a change to copyright laws, because it's a delicate business and I think it's good enough how it is.
