The purpose of the Copyright is to preserve the formation of new knowledge and technology by ensuring that the authors of such receive adequate rewards for their efforts. Society, as a whole, benefits as a result.

The very purpose is this benefit to society and when you see that benefit not happening then you are looking at bad copyright laws, almost by definition.

The granting of overlong copyright protections fit into the category of bad copyright laws.
