As per normal you have constructed sentences here that make no sense so I have no idea what you are talking about.

ou are argueing that movie creator should have a right to take all the money that a torrent site has made from building up the traffic, selling the advertising etc and just take it (fair use be dammed) just because their movie was on the site.
No, I am arguing that I should be able to sue for damage and force them to remove my movie from their site. They don't have the right to distribute it and that is what they are doing.

i am basically saying give me the permission to do the same thing to you, for all the people who licience my stuff.

in your mind that perfectly ok, since i should have a right to create as many monopolies (even one that surround only you) to maximize my profit.

i just recognize that copyright doesn't grant me that right, so i have to get you to agree to suffer that abuse volentarily.
Because the reality of the world and market doesn't create these violent spikes in the price that you imagine so you need to make them up in order to make a point. Fair use exists and many people/companies use it in the way it was intended to be used. Companies like local news and shows like The Daily Shoe used fair use in a fair and accurate way. Companies that want to take my entire movie and allow people to download it in torrent from their website are not.

Below I will answer your questions once again responding to each one exactly as you have asked them.

Here, again, are the answers to your questions:
if you work for a company
- I work for myself.

if they choose to employee
- I assume you mean if they choose to employ me, which, of course I do choose to employ myself.

if they choose to buy from you
- Well, I don't really sell anything to myself.

they must pay 73 times as much as for my instructions as everyone else

-I don't need your instructions so I wouldn't be buying them. If, for some reason, I did I would buy them from someone else. You say yourself that you are going to charge 73 times as much as everyone else does. That means everyone else but you is cheaper. I would go with everyone else.

they can either pay that cost or fire you/cut their business deals with you.
-Again, I can't really fire myself.
