I understand that some people depend on royalties for their living. I can appreciate that. But somehow, I think that the only ones really benefiting from this are the big publishing/recording companies.

Both sides of this argument are a bit contradictory: Do you want all works to be free, or do you want the creators of the works to be able to profit? You can't have both.
Also, don't forget there is another group involved here: Independent artists and creators that don't use the big publishing/recording companies. Copyright protects them most of all.
