Thank you for the precisely articulated ultimate point in this debate I have with people about copyright, though my conclusion is different to what you're (probably?) alluding too.
My conclusion is: Good.
Traditionally, storytellers and musicians were an important part of society. They were the medium through which ideas and even information would spread. Then came troupes, then came middlemen, then came companies, then came corporations. Each step along the way, the artist was less about her art, and more about the business of making art.
This can be acceptable to many, and I won't knock anyone who enjoys a good Hollywood blockbuster. What I would argue though, is that the pure artist who did it for the art first, and the business second, made better art.
In conclusion; fuck Google, let that dumpster fire burn out.
