So you'd much rather it cost creators to use the system? (Anything other than automatic requires registration which requires management which requires someone to pay for it. So either user-pays (creators) or the tax payer pays ... again.) I can see the argument, but I can't agree with it.

Your "above-mentioned" issues need to be properly analysed to see what they are really about and whether other solutions (aside from throwing the baby out with the bathwater) might present themselves.
