The purpose of copyright is exactly to make money.

The purpose of patents is to promote (edit: scientific research).

Giving someone money for the book they wrote for the rest of their life plus some time is all about money.

Money is not the end goal; it is only useful insofar as it advances creative works. Too often it stifles creativity, science or otherwise.

Money is the author's goal. More work from author is society's goal.
