Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income. (lemm.ee)

FWIW I've been creating IP as a career for a long time. I still want what OP wants, a UBI instead.

This is where people usually suggest that I start unilaterally sharing my work right now, ignoring the economic assumptions behind why a UBI would be necessary to replace IP.

I'm in your same position and fully agree. An UBI would be way better... but until that exists it's not right that people make use of my work for their own profit.
