> Hardly any of that content would exist at the quality level you are accustomed to, without copyright.

How would you know? Yes these all require funding but the idea that we as a society can only fund big creative works by giving up everyones right to freely share and enjoy them is absurd. Copyright is an effective(ish) way of funding things in a world built around copyright but it is not the only one and there is no reason to believe that there could not be better ones in a world without copyright.

It's a sad world we live in when creators are upset that their creation is shared.

Let's also not forget that the need to commercialize creative content using copyright can also negatively influence those works themselves as what is profitable under this scheme is not neccesarily what is best.

> It’s also a huge waste of time, as in order to be able to pay my employees and myself, I have to dedicate time to combating infringement-as-a-business.

Good news: without copyright you would not have to spend any time to combat infringement since there would be no infringement.

> For starters, the wholesale abolition of copyright would violate the United States Constitution.

Does it? I'm certainly not an expert of the matter but AFAII the constitution only ALLOWS the government to create laws like copyright but does not require it.
