You think you are making a good counter argument with the relation to software, but there is a sizable population of developers who believe exactly this, that throwing out copyright is a good thing. Currently most if not all software is created using previously written code that developers find from other developers online, like on stack overflow. None of them actually think to pay a poster on stack overflow for their solution, and systems like that wouldn't survive if they had to. You would have much more support for your deal than you might realize.
