Don't frame it like that. It's dishonest.

Corporations withholding royalties from artists is obviously bad. But it's entirely consistent to condemn such abuse while still supporting the idea that artists ought to be repaid for their work.

Corporations withholding royalties from salaried employees with whom no agreement was made regarding royalties is not "obviously bad".
Point taken. My objection was to praptak's generalized false dilemma of corporations cheating their employees versus weak copyright and widely accepted file sharing. Don Rosa's case is indeed more complex.
Tool. The corporate stooge has already framed it, dishonestly so. Using "starving artists" to argue increased control and ownership for corporations.
