#2 is pretty interesting. After all, the purpose of copyright law is to encourage creative works. If we have machines that can generate creative works on demand with little effort, what purpose does copyright law serve?

I am not a lawyer, so the following is only my opinion.

Copyright law serves the purpose of peoples works being protected from unauthorized parties making copies of their works, and profiting off them.

It doesn't protect from technology making the production of new works cheaper, faster, more efficient. An artist using photoshop can be many times faster than one using oil and canvas.
