The argument against it is founded on copyright.

The justification for copyright funding is enrichment of our culture, by incentivizing creative works.

Blocking creative works preservation (or access to it) strips away the cultural enrichment.

What’s left? People being compelled through taxes to fund profit police for copyright holders who aren’t holding up their end of the bargain.
