It's not publishright, it's copyright.

  The broad contours of modern copyright were formulated at a time when only for-profit enterprises (and perhaps sufficiently well-funded religious groups, but I repeat myself) could actually afford to copy things at scale. It may as well have been called "publishright".

  Well over here the most literal translation is 'author's rights', so arguing it ought to be about copying just because that's in the name doesn't carry much weight in my view. If anything it's a great example of how framing can manipulate people's views. I did mention that I considered the U.S. interpretation insane, didn't I?
