Copyright maximalists is the term I have seen used, but "IP extremists" conveys the same idea. I have posted many times that they appear to control the Executive Branch (Obama's office), but rarely have seen anybody mention that or comment on it.

Glad to see at least one other person shares the same insight. It is the Executive Branch who was responsible for trying to force ACTA on the whole world, and now not satisfied with ACTA, they are the driving force behind "the Son of ACTA", the Trans-Pacific Partnership being negotiated on a fast track in secret again. The TPP threatens to displace the 1995 Trips agreement negotiated in the open under the World Trade Organization and promises even more draconian measures. Among them, incredibly, is a provision to increase the duration of copyrights by a further 20 years.

It is also the Executive Branch who ordered the DOJ and the FBI to serve the MAFIAA, and came up with this wonderful plan to take down websites on MAFIAA's target list like Mega and that hip-hop site before it.
