People created works before copyright and they will continue to do so afterwards. > How much free content have you created? Pretty much every line of code I've ever written. I've also provided my services for plenty of people free of charge. > Since when is “we have technology to do $x” the justification for saying a law is invalid? Since these rent seekers showed up.

Before mass distribution existed you bought tickets to see plays in person. You also don’t seem to know rent seeking means > Rent seeking is an economic concept that occurs when an entity seeks to gain wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity. Are the people producing the media not contributing anything? It seems the people who want everything for free are the ones who aren’t making a meaningful contribution
