Especially in the context of the RIAA demanding millions of dollars from twelve year old kids for consuming art without paying for the "property."

I don't think "consume" is the best term, especially if you are trying to argue in favor of free(er) digital copyrights.
listen != consume just like copy != steal

But I see your point, and I whole-heartedly agree with that quote by Martin Luther King Jr.. People are more important than money or fame or power every day of the week. Any laws, or lack of laws, which promote that idea are OK with me.
