But that being said, no rational person could possibly believe that copyright exists only due to external state actor pressure from "the richest countries"
History suggests otherwise. Something that many of "the richest countries" have in common, including the US, is near-complete disregard of other countries' IP laws during their formative stages. Once these nations climb to the top on a heap of broken IP laws, they invariably set about building it even higher.
But that being said, no rational person could possibly believe that copyright exists only due to external state actor pressure from "the richest countries"... and not due to the fact that entrenched financial interests influence every nation on earth. Over-the-top zealotry only serves to discredit more sober critiques.
