Well said. I only take issue with your assertion that it is a useful legal compromise. It being useful is entirely dependent upon who you are.

For someone who partakes in the shared cultural tapestry it could come to be that the legal compromise ends up an oppressive force.

For instance, if you went to clubs in your youth, that music became part of your shared culture. When you are older you will struggle to revisit that same shared culture by those using intellectual property legalities to paywall your soul.
