So many things shouldn't have copyright protection in the first place. Code is up there on the list imo. Patents as well for that measure. You likely benefit from millions of cases of both infringement and design "theft" but it legitimately just stiffles industry, keeps the lawyers rich, and usually leaves the indie industry competitive only by the graces of a monopolistic capitalist body hoping to hold up straw man examples.
