The issue is that, for a person to 'derive' comedy from Sarah Silverman the 'analogue' way, you have to get her works legally,

That is not actually true.

I would violate copyright by making an unauthorized copy and providing it to you, but you do not violate copyright for simply viewing that unauthorized copy. Sarah can come after me for creating the cop[y|ies], but she can't come after the people to whom I send them, even if they admit to having willingly viewed a copy they knew to be unauthorized.

Copyright applies to distribution, not consumption.
