These individual stakeholders are just a small representation of the many US citizens that are members of the copyright industry as a whole. It is no surprise that the internet, and its ability to share just about anything in an instant, is continuing to play an increasingly large role in our lives.

Sounds like you're still underestimating the value of copyright quite a bit. While there are certainly many people in the content industries that produce copyrighted material, these are by no means the sole "stakeholders" - that group includes not merely the millions who produce but also the billions that read books, listen to music, or watch TV or movies, and which benefit from the encouragement of production. If all you look at is the economic benefits of copyright to creators, you're missing the overwhelming majority of the value of copyright, which benefits society as a whole. “As I looked around Georgetown University’s Gaston Hall, I was able to see clearly how many people have a vested interest in the continuing success of this singular art form.
