A lot of noisy people here have a very expansive view of intellectual property. They seem to want total control over anything they "own", without any regard for the consequences. There's no room for any kind of fair use. Where they can't own something, they still want to own it.

With some horror, I recall a thread where the mob called for making robots.txt legally binding. That wasn't big tech lobbyists, just some ordinary users here.
