That’s a big problem with this whole debate. I think we’d be better off without copyright and that creators would find new, better ways to make a living. But it’s pretty difficult to see how this could be convincingly proved or disproved, so I guess we’re stuck with the status quo forever.

A law which can't be proven to be effective is a bad law. If it's difficult to prove whether or not copyright is effective then the laws which restrict freedom need to be removed.
