I think you mean you want data to be free. In many situations I agree with you, but ascribing wishes or desires to the concept of data itself really isn't an argument of any substance.
As long as copyright is here; it is expected big players are to be bound by it to the same degree they push legal systems to bind the little guy.
What you get instead, is the big guy pilfering the little guys under the justification that "it's different when we do it, and if you challenge us, I'll put my subsidized legal department to work burying you."
Copyright needing significant overhaul or abolition doesn't detract from that state of affairs, I hope we can agree?
