Justice Ginsburg is definitely known as an IP maximalist.
Some people have wondered if she's been influenced by her daughter's views on IP, since Jane Ginsburg (a colleague of Eben Moglen's at Columbia!) is one of the most influential copyright law professors and has taken a maximalist view in many copyright controversies.

> (at least in my bubble) being "liberal" is associated with wanting less strong IP protection
And that's also much less true in regions with major media industries, like New York and Los Angeles.
- ab5tract 9y agoI wish I could go back in time to ensure that Americans never started using "liberal" to mean anything other than "one who advocates for liberalization of trade and economics". This is what it means in Europe. It took me a good long time after moving to start hearing it with its international meaning, but now I find the Americanized form absurd in its conflation. In other words, liberals--in the international sense of the word--absolutely 100% endorse IP maximalization and indeed all forms of corporate ownership, rent, and public infrastructure transfer.
