So I think the question is should so much money be made from some of these things?
Should for example actors and sports players be insanely rich while teachers and other public servants make so little?

How much is a Hollywood movie really going to cost to produce in five years? (Ignoring inflated writing/acting expenses.)
The more I think about it, America would look very different if there was no copyright. There wouldn't be the huge companies that we have today. For example Disney has the sole rights to produce Mickey Mouse based products, but if anyone anywhere could produce Mickey Mouse based products, then suddenly a hole lot less money is streaming into Disney, and just take that effect and multiply it out=no more mega corps.
It would change the face of commerce and to that effect even employment, you'd probably have many more small businesses and a lot less "corporations".
In any case it would have very far reaching effects...
When profit is disassociated from revenue, a lot of padding will go on. See the USA's defence industry for another example.
