Let's not forget that copyright enforcement is mostly funded by taxpayers. It's a collectively massive cost to the rest of us.
It probably made sense for a limited time when we (society) were getting something of comparable value (cultural works) in return. But now that it's effectively endless, and dominated by corporations, it looks an awful lot like systematic extraction of wealth... from us.
