No one has even remotely suggested hindering artists ability to distrubute their works. What people are talking about is hindering you giving away these artists works for free.

You giving away copies of the artist's is what hinders the artist's distribution. You've substituted your distribution for the artist's.

And no, the potential audience is not near infinite. The potential audience is about 7 billion people, if all people wanted a copy. That's not near infinity.

You cannot put forth the fallistic notion of non-creation incentives.
You haven't in any way demonstrated that this is a fallacy. On the contrary, ample evidence has been provided that it isn't fallacious
