Michael,
I connected with your story in that I too grew up with an affinity for drawing comic book art. It was a great time in American history to grow up during the 1990's comic book craze where the art began to supersede the writing in a round about way nearly put the entire industry into bankruptcy. I had the aspirations to make a living in that line of work. I worked at a recreational Sports park doing airbrushing and t-shirt graphics before I went into the music education business.
The issue with copyright use of content from companies who charge a generous amount of money for that use is impractical for the common person. There definitely needs to be more content creator material that is legally accessible for a minimal price so that a greater percent of the population can share material that is culturally significant. The Netflix modal allows for viewing almost unlimited content at a monthly price. Of course you are not allowed to redistribute but there are ways to share the content with friends in a legal fashion through interfaces like XBOX Live. This idea should be moved forward in the online environment to allow for the use of multi-media materials in a copyright free environment.
