>Why should I invest time/energy/my money/long nights not spent having fun to create something that I won't own, have control over, or profit from?

You get an exclusive monopoly and profit for twenty years, that seems long enough. Expecting the gravy train to run for the rest of your life, if not longer, is excessive. And I disagree with the premise that all human creative effort would cease were that to change.

>You want to re-write the rules because 'it doesn't work' makes no sense.

I don't know why you're quoting an argument I didn't make, or why you wasted the bulk of your comment rebutting it.
