Zero value to the process of production?

So people who write and produce books, shows and films should all do what? Give up their craft?

Creation isn't special, or constrained in number.

Process of creation itself is gratifying and valuable to those who will pursue it. No reason to additionally reward it.

Lamp lighters had to give up their craft I suppose and made way to a better world.

The fruits of your labour are not your labour.

Bullshit. Read up and understand the history of these things and their benefits to society. There is a reason they were created in the first place. Over a very long time. With lots of thoughts into the tradeoff/benefits to society. That Disney fucked with it does not make the original tradeoff not a benefit to society.

The fact that you don't actually call out the specific benefit is telling. We're in a world of plenty and don't need copyright to have those benefits for our fellow humans.
