That criticism applies to copyright generally, and I agree partly. However, what’s happening here is different. What people are reacting against is that (often dirt poor) artists unwillingly become part of a commercial supply chain, while corporations protect their IP the usual way, backed by the full force of the government even on foreign land. If copyright is abolished entirely, at least there’s some form of level playing field. But this becomes yet another step towards a more exploitative economic environment.
