Moving beyond copyright is something that has to be done on an individual basis...

Most free books released in the last few years are still under copyright: in fact, copyright is what enables the authors to release them for free without worrying about someone else selling them for profit. Copyright provides the legal framework that allows authors who wish to release their works for free to do so.
Your distaste for copyright is well known, and you're not alone in wishing it abolished; but you would go much farther in your argument if you demonstrated a greater understanding of the subject.
