That comparison is misleading. The real comparison is with the money "our" side is spending now. The battle over software patents in Europe showed that the better arguments have a fair chance of winning against monied interests if you can get your arguments heard.

Right. So one of the things I am hearing loud and clear is that our community would generally like to see more money spent on lobbying efforts for copyright reform. That is a point very well taken.
However, our task at the moment is not to dream about _that_ per se, but rather to dream about what kinds of work under existing copyright, we would like to see made free. There have been many good suggestions, and I welcome more.
