> The root of the problem is copyright ...

I think the root of the problem is that musicians, artists, photographers, actors, writers, and so on BELIEVE that copyright is what keeps them from going hungry, and that they are therefore willing to submit to the control of the media mega-corporations. In exchange, a few of them get shockingly high amounts of money, but the overwhelming majority make quite a bit less.

So foregoing corporate copyrobbing media is a good partial first step, but we also have to make the case to the creatives (who do the work to make entertainment media happen) that most of them can make as much money in ways that do not rely on copyright or corporations.
