copyright maximalists
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Individuals or organisations who seek to enforce copyright to the
|
||
|
|
maximum possible extent, beyond any level which could be deemed as being
|
||
|
|
reasonable or proportionate. For example, maximalists seek to have
|
||
|
|
users disconnected from the internet after three accusations of
|
||
|
|
copyright infringement or may try to sue university students for
|
||
|
|
hundreds of thousands of dollars after they are discovered to have
|
||
|
|
downloaded a few mp3 files. Maximalists always vigorously reject any
|
||
|
|
notion of the "fair use" of copyrighted materials and prefer prosecution
|
||
|
|
rather than negotiation.
