Sincerely, most of my life, me and most people around me have been ecstatic to create and share until we grew up and were drown into the collective dream of the possibility of getting rich (or at least getting by) by creating for money. And if you go to places were people are still not yet slaves to themselves - and you don't have to travel too far, just in the countryside, small islands in Europe, etc., you will see that people create and create continuously and ingenuously without ever thinking of copyrighting/trademarking/patenting. If you can't believe it, well, that's OK - I find it kind of sad, because I have experienced that and I do experience that and it is beautiful. But thinking that copyright actually incentivizes people to create is also fine - maybe it does for other subset of people.
