Let’s say I write a book and it starts getting popular. A big publisher notices and makes a nicer looking book that’s a direct copy and runs a marketing campaign and it goes viral. It turns into a movie, video game, and has tons of merch. The publisher makes tons of money and I get nothing.

Copyright grants a temporary monopoly on a work, and that’s a good thing because it protects people from large corporations that have much more resources than them.
