It depends a lot on the nature of the work. For a songwriter, the copyright law protects his songs and allows him to get paid for them. For a publisher, the law requires them to negotiate with an author for the right to publish the work, but also protects the resulting books from others' unlicensed use. For a movie critic, the law allows limited unlicensed use in critique, and also protects the resulting reviews.
