The Pirate Bay is resolving the issue
There is an argument to be made that the use of state power to prop up business models that depend on artificial scarcity is a bad thing, but the main problem is not culture locked up behind a paywall, but culture and science not being done because some "rightholder" won't allow the production of derivative works.
The suppression of The Wind Done Gone, a retelling of the story of Gone with the Wind from a slave's perspective, by the estate of Margaret Mitchell; the delay in the American release of the track "Fire and Ice" by Unto Ashes, using the lyrics of the 1928 Robert Frost poem of the same title as lyrics due to wangling with the decades-dead poet's publisher over the rights; the impossibility of publishing fan-fiction because copyright now extends to characters and settings, not just the actual text as it originally did; and patent trolling are all signs that there is something deeply wrong with the reification of the government-granted monopolies of copyright and patent as "property" in terms of their Constitutional purpose.
