You'd have no problem with, say, large corporations simply repackaging independent work from the PD for near 100% profit, without even crediting the original authors?
Not really. If their packaging adds value over the freely-available public domain content, then great. If not, who would buy it?
once something is released under a cc license it can't be undone.
Kind of like once something is finally released into the public domain, it can't be put back under copyright later?
Life Lesson 1: The government can do anything it wants, because who's going to stop them?
We already have the recycled lamers like Amanda Palmer coming to annoy us (did she get kicked out the theater world already?). No doubt we will get some Corey Smith action in there, and perhaps a few other no-name bands and artists will come along to show how they actually made enough money one night in a club to drink Heineken instead of Bud.
Take note, struggling content creators: This is what the other side thinks of you.
If you don't have a private jet, you're just trash under their boots and they revel in your pain.
At that point, people just rip you by name, without reading anything you post.
At this point, you have to ask yourself "Why do I want people to read my posts?". If it's because you want to actually influence opinion, you might try presenting a coherent argument. Ad homs aren't going to hold up, regardless of whether you post as an AC or not.
denying others what you hold most precious
No one has denied you anything. You're still here, and you're still posting your drivel aren't you?
"I won't let you get away with trying to help artists, Mike! I'm going to go through the law with a fine-tooth comb. There must be something in here I can use to send the government after you!"
Mike has always said that publishers, labels, and other middlemen can offer a useful to content creators, it's just that so often they get stuck both in the past and in their own greed that they don't.
Somehow you have construed (using crazy troll logic) that Mike thinks no middleman should ever exist. That's stupid; a middleman should exist if they bring something valuable to the table that benefits both content creators and consumers.
