I want to limit the amount of benefit they can reap.

Why?

Because people should get benefits rather than corporations?

How are the two at odds here? Disney has around a quarter million employees who currently benefit from copyrighted IPs.

Please explain how Disney being the only ones able to use an IP causes their employees to get a higher salary. Executives do not count, as they get paid obscene amounts as it is anyway.

It allows them to get a salary, and their salary negotiations are neither here nor there
