Why do they last more than a year?

Why do they exist at all?

I understand them lasting for a certain time so the authors can get a compensation for what they have worked for. Of course people are allowed to quote things and use the content in a transformative way like in the German urheberrechts laws.

Without royalties or copyright it's difficult to earn enough money for living as an artist. If there was proper support and compensation for artists there would be no reason for copyright law.
