I wonder if some manufacturers are succumbing to copyrightism, a tag for the mental disorder that obsesses with control over the product - to the detriment of all else.

> copyrightism

i've not heard of this. is it the same as critiquing the intellectual property system as a whole? if not, how is it different?

Sounds like it's more concerned with the opposite, human side - the madness that grips people who have some control and are terrified of losing it, so they use copyright (and lobbying for copyright enhancements and extensions) to keep themselves from ever having to relinquish anything they can't get back.
