Yeah, I agree. I think most absolutist rejections of copyright and intellectual property are, at their core, a reaction against attempts to prevent piracy the person wants to engage in. Maybe mixed in with some misplaced Free Software idealism (that ignores stuff like the fact that copyright is the literal foundation of Free Software).

Attempts to prevent piracy are laughable and ineffective. Even North Korea can't fully prevent imports of Western cultural products.

This is why the music industry gave up and now we have services like Tidal, Spotify and Youtube.
