I'm not saying there should be no copyright. I'm analogizing vast restrictions on copyright to arguments people often make about surveillance, that if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to lose. I think that argument is more or less well understood, and I think the logic transfers over to use of powerful tools to police copyright infringement. We can't anticipate how those tools will be abused in idiosyncratic ways by flawed political systems, and we shouldn't enable vast enforcement powers without building in the same checks against human abuses that are part of democratic systems.
