It's dystopian as fuck for an even more fundamental reason: your computer is your property, and propagandists have no right to colonize it!

That goes double for the fact that the copy"right" they're trying to justify this invasion of control with isn't actually a right at all, but rather a mere temporary monopoly privilege. They're literally just borrowing from the Public Domain and think they not only own something, but that it somehow supersedes the actual property rights of everybody else!
