Copyright is actually very important, especially to independent authors, photographers, digital artists, traditional artists, videographers (YouTubers as an example), and especially movie producers. Copyright protects their work from being taken by someone else and claimed as their own, however special cases do exist where other individuals are allowed to use copywritten material that is not theirs, this is where fair use comes into play. If we did not have fair use, but still had Copyright, the large majority of YouTube videos would be illegal, from commentary videos to silly meme videos. So calling Copyright a cancer is like wanting their work to be out in a field of monkeys and hope they don’t notice it, spoiler, they always do.
You are talking about either right for name or right of authorship. I don’t remember which is which, but in normal countries(aka in Europe) it is inalienable right, unlike copyright, which can be sold.
If you want copyright THAT badly, you should demand making it inalienable instead of protecting status quo of total publisher’s control.
EDIT: right for name is to have your name on art, right of authorship is to call yourself author.
EDIT2: copytight outside of capitalism just does not make sense.
