1: No. 2: I'm not against it, but I can see why people would fear being humiliated by a better version of their idea, or feel that others are coasting on their hard work. 4: Capitalist copyright is about both property -> money and credit -> status. Fannish copyrights is probably mostly about credit -> status. Also your numbering scheme is aggravating my ocd. 4: If the original copyright holder can prove a loss of income because of consumers buying the transformative version as a substitute for their work, or because the transformative work has caused consumers to feel an unwaranted dislike of the original work, then yes.
