That's a rather odd reply. I don't think the ideology you express is very common. If you were to tell me more, I would read it.
I did not give any views on celebrities. I simply asked what the public benefit was. Do I infer correctly that, to you, the public benefit is beside that point, but that your view on this is determined by your views of celebrities?
Please note that fraud is criminal, which makes it hard to see what exactly you would want to be done about "shady scam artists".
Note also that "massive corporations" can only benefit here if there is a kind of property right, similar to a trademark or a copyright. EG The Disney corporation still owns the rights to "Mickey Mouse", created in 1928. That's the same year in which Fleming discovered Penicillin, which is owned by no one. So if you have a problem with "massive corporations" extracting wealth, here, you very much need to rethink your position.
