OP is making the spurious argument that technology should have the same ethical entitlements as humans. It's on par with "information wants to be free".

I don't read it as an ethical argument, it's an argument about the purpose of copyright. Copyright is intended to restrict reproduction of a work for the purpose of incentivizing the creation of new works. Copyright is not intended to restrict the transmission of knowledge.

OP's argument is a common one amongst the IP entitlements crowd.

My thoughts as well. I just prefer to remove the nuance on these types of things. If OP wants to draw a line and clearly state "I'm with the corpo robots" that's fine. Just state it plainly so I can proceed accordingly.

Maybe I need to use this argument when I go to the movies next time.
