“For example if pirating became fully legal, amazon or any other corporation would simply just use that to either take in all profits for themselves or give it for free to drive traffic and make money in some other way while the actual creator would end up with nothing.” But the question is how would they make money while also not being the ones producing the creative works?

If you want to see a creator make new artistic works (a real actual person or small team, not “Dinsey” or “Amazon”) you’ll need to pay them, probably up front or at least continually during the production process. This is how things like patreon already work! The difference is we completely kneecap the giant corporation’s ability to middleman and sue others out of competing.
