Take for example making a book into a movie, the costs applied are the costs of getting the movie made. Which is as it should be, they shouldn't pay more to do this.

Don't care about that point either. Again, the relevant point is that the works belong to them, not society. Even if they collect millions by sitting back and doing nothing, the fact is, they own it, period!

Here we fundamentally disagree. The better societal good is if these works enter into wider use after a period of time. Having them locked away for all time only serves the rights holder, and in due time the rights holder will have done nothing to have contributed to society.
