What an author charges for their book on Amazon doesn't have anything to do with copyright. You can charge a million dollars for a public domain work if you want. I believe a lot more content creators are on my side than you seem to think.
But yes, I have been forthright on these boards before about my desire to eliminate copyright. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in this post.
Also, you are correct, there are many benefits to digital works over their physical analogs. The increased ability to share is only one of them. Personally, however, I think it's the biggest benefit of all. Sort of like how modern cars have electric locks and air conditioning, but still their main benefit is their speed and carrying capacity. Hence my horse analogy. Esstentially, we're already in a post-scarcity society when it comes to information, and that change threatens people. But your mileage seems to vary, and that's cool too. It will be fun to see it all play out.
