I do see the merit in that argument, but isn't the last sentence you make there a typical one made by pirates? When our arguments get close to theirs, we need to question if we're doing something entirely different, or even right. We can't be absolute in our proclamations. As much as I hate middlemen too, they have rights too borne of their transactions with the original rights holders, if someone's rights are being infringed upon that doesn't make it a victim-less transaction.
