Privacy and Copyright are unrelated

Please don't muddle different concepts.

* It would be perfectly logically consistent to have strong privacy protections and weak copyright.

* Also,while we do need consumer protection from Facebook & Google, the real threat to privacy is our own government, and that of the US. So, for example, if we wanted to implement a "right to be forgotten", it needs to also apply to the spooks.
