There’s an argument that artistic material is too important to be left in the capricious hands of the people who merely own the IP. It’s why we have national libraries and archives. It’s why the Internet Archive and WayBackMachine were such vital inventions to sit above a constantly shifting, volatile thing like the Internet. “I own it and I can do what I like with it” should not be an absolute. Ownership applies only up to a point because we ALL have a stake in the history of our culture.
