The goal of a narrow victory seems faulty. I wonder if a "narrow accelerationism" might be more effective. IP disputes tend to be B or C stories in the public eye-- either super-technical where they only really interest people in very narrow verticals, or containing unsavoury and unmediagenic characters that are easy to demonize. Give the IP lobby everything it wants, and we create a world of "here's an adorable 6-year-old girl who will die a very painful and public death because of patents" and "we had to burn down the pre-school because Mrs Crumble photocopied some worksheets with Donald Duck printed on them". With any luck, the backlash would be so massive that nobody would dare speak the word "patent" or "copyright" in Congress for three or four centuries.
