There is no such thing as a "copyright industry." The article begins with a fallacy, and cannot survive from it.
There is no such thing as a "copyright monopoly." Copyright only protects a very specific expression of an idea, and anyone is free to express the time idea, maybe even better.
A "monopoly" (not a bad thing, even in Greek times when the term was invented) merely confers the right of sellership to the person who creates or owns something. If I build a house, I get to be the one who sells it.
Re contract law: you could easily claim no contract exists between those who trade in stolen goods, i.e. the typical Internet pirate. They never entered into a contract; they cannot be held by contract. Duh.
