Although it's certainly true that many people happily create without feeling a need to protect or make money from their works, copyright provides people who are creating for a living with the opportunity to ascribe value to (and possibly derive an income from) their imagination and hard work. Possibly more than incentivizing creation to begin with, it allows creators to share their work with the rest of us, knowing we can't legally take it from them: if you knew your song would be immediately ripped off, you probably wouldn't be too keen to perform it.

It doesn't protect producers of intellectual property but companies who can afford the legal process. This is quite contrary to the intent stated above. But the fact that current copyright laws don't protect intellectual property as much as would be desirable doesn't make it right to steal movies by downloading them.
