I think the foundational problem is the privatization of information. Information is not an object. It's not a countable good. Yet copyright demands we frame it as such. Why? To structure our society around competition. I would much rather give collaboration a try. Unfortunately, the demand of intellectual property reframes collaboration as "derivative work", and forces us to make explicit contracts with specific people before creating it. ---- edit: To elaborate this in the context of the article, The very idea that we need to protect a person's right to monopolize information is ignorant of the underlying right to oblivion. Intellectual property frames the very act of existing as a person as the creation of information. That alone infringes on the right to oblivion.
