I see many people in this community objecting to copyright
* extending beyond the life of the creator
* extending beyond the original 14 years or wherever it began
* held by non-human legal entities
* not requiring donation to Library of Congress
* not requiring some sort of property tax
* retroactively extended
and a few other issues with copyright. I've seen no more than a tiny minority objecting to copyright completely. I've observed this community supporting copyright in some form quite a bit. The GPL and other Free licenses are based in copyright, for example.
Respectfully, the red-herring of who is David and who is Goliath implies you don't understand the issues. I didn't downvote you, but I can understand why someone would. If I have a principled stand on an important issue and someone implies I blindly support the little guy -- I can see someone feeling that's what downvoting is for.
