"While currently content creators are slaves to the megacorps and rarely retain the rights to their own creations. We sure have come a long way, eh?"
Well at least IP law allows a content creator to have something to negotiate with when creating a contract with a "megacorp". Abolishment of IP would take away even that.
"Just like sports players that are payed megabucks. I don't feel my life is enriched by those few as much as it is by the many who play for fun and get by on a living wage instead of a multimillion dollar salary. "
Well that's an aspect of "contract law", not IP. And the wonderful thing about our system is that those who DO feel that sports players (and other megastars) are worth it, aren't penalized by the judgemental who don't.
A fairer system than anything the "I don't like IP" crowd could ever come up with.
