Copyright laws are very important so that no other musician can steal their work from them. Also, when people use their songs in movies and such, with copyright laws, the artist can ensure that they will get paid for their song to be featured in those movies.
Copyright laws are so important to musicians, because they do not want their music to be stolen from them, and then someone else make more money off of it. The musician spent so much time to create their music, that if they didn't have copyright laws, it would be for nothing.
