You speak of a nebulous copyright oligarchy where only a small group of individuals hold sway over an entire public. There can be no monopoly where the production of new goods is boundless.
The rights protecting a single expression cannot be a monopoly because there is no restriction to others for creating and distributing their own creative work.

a mon opoly is the opposite of competition when there is only one seller of aa product or service a monopoly exist
the fact that there are alternative but not identical substitutes does not minimize the monopoly power granted

The first word in your reply says it all. Your exception doesn't work when title isn't passed from seller to buyer, which is the case for copyright.
Why even argue the point. Copyright is covered by tort law, and it applies to parties even when a formal agreement has not been made. Stop talking gibberish.

but that exactly the point you have these extra right above and beyond what bricklayer has. and your trying to justify those extra right based on the lower standard of rights.
your basically arguing that you deserve all these extra rights because a bricklayer has right too, just a tiny fraction of the rights you have.
Everyone has right
The question is why do you deserve more rights than another industry when it comes to selling your wears.
