Does it mean that they should be removed entirely? Surely we can agree on the fact that I should not be allowed to make a copy of a book, put my name on it instead of the real author, and sell it? Or even claim that I wrote it and put it on my resume?
Copyright is the friend to the 1% and the enemy of the everyone else.
(Of course, I'm using "the 1%" rhetorically, it's really more like 0.01%)
As a society, we all clearly benefit from fair use far more than we benefit from members of the copyright cartel buying another mansion or private jet.

There is a theoretical implementation of copyright that is your friend.
The realities of the laws as implemented today are abusive and hostile.
