+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.
