and it makes mention of all the actions that are going on against sites that help people infringe. I wouldn't go so far as to call this a backlash it is one opinion in what is becoming a growing sea of legal action.

Second, it just says we need to think outside the box, but makes no mention of what that might be.

Third, a person who creates a work that is copyrighted is free to do whatever they want with it. If a person wants to raise the money themselves and make a movie they can do whatever they want with it. Copyright doesn't stop them from giving it away for free or distributing it any way this wish to. If they are the sole holder of the copyright they can distribute/monetize it anyway they want.

again putting it in the public domain, or shortening the time of the exclusive right doesn't stop them from doing any of those things either.
you keep comming back to the fact that the copyright holder can give the stuff away for no money (for free) why are you so stupid that you don't understand that we are talking about free (as in free speech) not free (free beer)
copyright is not supposed to stop free speech because of fair use, when fair use is limited (you need to get permission to make a cover, parody etc) that exactly when it is.
