The comment about copyright seems to make a distinction between (I assume) inalienable rights and granted rights. This is fantasy. All "rights" are granted by society and exist only as far as the other members of the society accept for themselves the restrictions implied by the rights of others.

Copyright is a relatively modern (18th C) limited monopoly right granted to reward the investment into creativity and the risks of innovation. Without copyright there would be less innovation in business as a company which created new things would be taking the risks but unable to gain the reward.

That said, copyright and associated rights are being pushed too far by rapacious companies, and society is beginning to reject this. When people won't comply with their duty associated with other's rights, then the right will fail. The law can't work if not supported by society and is (as always) trailing behind the change in society.
