Well said! I particularly like how you say that the deck is stacked against the small-time artist/creator. This is 100% true. Copyright law, while perhaps originally intended to serve the interests of innovators by protecting their ideas from duplication (for a limited time), now vastly favors the very businesses and organizations that stifle innovation by halting the spread of ideas. When a small-time creator participates in this system, they are playing a losing game, with the odds stacked against them from the very beginning. Many times there are economic motivators that don't give creators a reasonable choice besides participating in the lopsided system, but they should still be informed about the realities of intellectual "property" and how it disfavors them, no matter what some shady suit-and-tie executive might say.
