Funny, but personal information is not published at most cases. Non-published information is out of discussion. So you miss the point.

Privacy and copyright are completely separate issues.

The obvious dividing line is, the copyright holder wants their data (creative work) to be spread as widely as possible (to paying customers), whereas someone with a secret potentially wants no one in the world to receive that data.

I don't think anyone is claiming that composers should be forced to publish their songs against their will.
