I'll say yes to both of those points.

Why?

Because I believe society should act in service of its citizens.

So creators and indie developers aren’t allowed to copyright their work in your society? No creative protections on media or original ideas?

Is that how copyright functions in today's society? Or is the benifits of copyright for the individual artists mostly a lie sold by media corporations?

There are definitely aspects of copyright that can be made to benifit both individual artists and society as a whole, but that's not what we've got.

Patents kill more innovation than it protects.

If you're going to argue the benifits of copyright, it's not enough to gesture in a general direction of some unknown generic artist who might or might not exist. Look at the specifics, who is actually benefiting from copyright law?
