Wrong. The same digital technologies you rely on to permit unfettered fair use (posting the ENTIRE content for so-called commentary) permit unlimited creation and distribution by ANYBODY.
You can't have it both ways. If digital delivery puts content into everyone's hands, then everyone can contribute. The playing field is leveled and *competition* forces set market conditions. A monopoly cannot exist.
True monopolies limit consumer choice. So what if the so-called government-granted "monopoly" (a term of convenience, not legal doctrine) puts limits on the taking of copyright works without remuneration. The consumer now has a boundless selection, made possible by the very technologies you rely on for your copyright anarchy.
With unlimited choice a monopoly cannot exist. Get over it.
