Copyright is the same for everyone; corporations or people, rich or poor. Financially speaking, this issue has close to 0 to do with individual content creators, much less struggling ones. They are simply not the big content owners.

PR companies know that people care about the individual. So when they shill for a law, they will send in some individual. It's never about money for corporations or the rich, but always about the "hard-working American"; and then say hello to some Joe, the plumber. I can see why artists on social media would discourage their followers from going to the competition. But the whole copyright angle won't save anyone's job.
