    But without copyrights, free software could no longer be protected from
    unfree use.

If we want a law to do that, it need not apply to anything other than 
free software.

I do not advocate abolishing copyright, just reducing it.  But, beyond
that specific position, there is a general basic position: however
much copyright power we decide to allow, it should be for the sake of
the reading public, not for the authors.
