Make a song that's a hit and all the profits go to those few sites and nothing for you.

you do realize that the copyright industry creates way fewer jobs then fair use counter parts right
look at apple it data center for itunes employees 49 people, the ipods manufacter in china creates 1000s of jobs, shipping, trucking, warehousing, and selling those things.
since the jobs creating the songs has to be split 50/50 because people would by mp3 if the mp3 player wasn't there, the fair use (format shifting) creates way more jobs.

So instead of millions of people making billions we have 1000's of people making the
billions. This will kill the economy in the long run. Oh wait, the economy is already dead.
1000's of people who served popcorn at the theater are unemployed because of
torrents. Tower records and Block Buster video are history. Barnes and Noble are
no longer so noble. So we lose all that to get Facebook and youtube.

auto scopic 3d has been around in a theater form since 1996
we still don't have personal cameras that can record autoscopic 3d.
torrents could have been a totally inferior experience compared to theaters if theaters had invested in technology instead of resting on their monopoly control.

Not really a great pay off in the broader scope of the economy.

8 years of content is published on youtube every single day.
every person in the world is effectively a news caster/performer/comedian.
all of who have to buy cameras and editing software, and computers to do their "broadcasts"
movies are being funded by the crowd.
if your consern is pooling money in the hands of the few rich, guess what your on the wrong side of the arguement, because the copyright industry does that to a far greater degree then the youtube world.
