If we had a UBI then IMO we could likely do away with the copyright laws for the most part.

Most UBI proposals would not really help with that. Most UBI, when combined with other social programs, means a general "safety net" for people to barely subsist, rather than thrive if they are trying to build a living out of it. It's mostly envisioned as an emergency living, maybe bridge someone to get education, or to complement minimum wage type of work to bring it up to a respectable standard of living.
