Is this coming from the same community that has always said that copyright has to be abolished?

Orthogonal complaint.

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?

The same community that is upset when people get caught using licensed open source software who don't follow the licenses requirements yes
No.
