IP is a legal fiction created and enforced to further explicit public policy objectives--specifically, to incentivize creativity and to create a safe protected space for innovation. If those public policy objectives are not being met, then continuing to implement IP in its original form is harmful to society as a whole.

In other words, a company that is relying on policies implemented to stimulate economic growth and development a century ago--and is using the power of its protected market position to interfere in the democratic process that might align policy with the economic realities of today--is certainly not any kind of "victim". If there are any victims, they are the people whose true economic potential is being suppressed by the continuing existence of outdated laws.

I'm not advocating for an elimination of IP, but I am saying that IP needs to be reformed in a way that will reduce the wealth of companies and individuals who do cling to a pre-internet business model, and it is right to attack them to the extent that a defense of their interests is preventing a modernization of the laws.
