The copyright industry is trying to use Covid-19 as an excuse to impose robotic copyright filters in the US, similar to the devastating directive that was passed by the EU a year ago.
It is unfortunate that the article uses the confused term "intellectual property" as if it referred to something meaningful. It is a bogus overgeneralization which is lumps together various unrelated laws.
This issue is about one specific law: copyright. "Copyright" refers to a meaningful topic. "Intellectual property" does not.
I think it is also unfortunate that the article speaks of "monetizing".
