i don't believe that the before or at options are viable for the
overwhelming majority of artists & creatives. i think that "before/at"
can probably work for programmers working on contract work.

its certainly awful, as are your other examples.
on the other hand, i'm not sure quite how the mixture of easy
distribution via the net but almost no paid compensation for most
artistic work would compare the situation we've had for on the order
of 100 years, in which it was feasible for quite a lot of artists to
make a living by being artists.
and i don't mean this as a snide rhetorical remark - i mean that i
really don't know.
