If we put it into media context. The government/military created the movie, the base is the movie that they created. The people living around the base are the movie theaters, video stores, DVD stores and cable companies that are making money selling that money. They didn't create it, they are simply profiting from its existence.
except if that your analogy you just screwed up the arguement

if the base is the movie then remove all copyright protection /closing the base makes no difference since the movie/base already exists.

It not the physically created item that issue but the service that is being run on that

the operation of the base//liciencing of the movie.

that the point, your analogy falls apart because it false

The only one that is valid is base being the act itself, the operation being the rights the act grants

and the people who benefit (from the operation) being equal the3 copyright holders who benefit (from the rights granted).
