I wish the protections placed on corporate control on cultural and intellectual assets were placed on the average persons privacy instead.

Like I really don't care that someone's publicly available book and movie in the last century is analysed and used to create tools, but I do care that without people's actual knowledge a intense surveillance apparatus is being built to collect every minute piece of data about their lives and the lives of those around them to be sold without ethical oversight or consent.

IP is bull, but privacy is a real concern. No one is going to using a extra copy of NY times article to hurt someone, but surveillance is used by authoritarians to oppress and harass innocent people.
