I think they are implying that public domain works are attacked globally because a company thinks they own it in one country. Take Happy Birthday, for example: in the UK it is considered a traditional song and is therefore public domain, but in the US there are no such protections against copyright and therefore Time Warner thinks they own it. |

I don't think even they think that anymore:
> On June 28, 2016, the final settlement was officially granted and the court declared that the song was in the public domain
