Having a static, immovable belief system about something like copyright that is unaffected by seismic shifts in the real world also doesn't seem very logical.

If like, Disney did a 180 overnight and bought rights from Google to scan every writer's saved work in Docs with some flimsy legal argument then a person saying "wait doesn't copyright actually protect that" would make sense. Even if you were previously upset about them suing schools for using 80 year art.
