Not hackers; their musical counterparts wouldn't be the RIAA and such, but rather the people noodling on music in the spare time for the fun of it.
Look to large corporations: Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo, &c using patents offensively and defensively, instead.
It would only be an hypocrisy if hackers were trying to push laws to protect software from being pirated. But you don't, quite the opposite actually, I'd guess most of us would rather see less IP enforcement, than otherwise. Personally, I'd invite you to share my creation as much as you can, please do so.
