Sorry, I should have phrased that as "why should we have a separate set of laws for men and for men using machines?"

No artist is required to pay out to their influences, but an artist that uses a machine must or it is a grave injustice?

Or more to the point "why should we have a separate set of laws for men and for corporations?"

I do feel a lot of these attempts to provide one set of rules for people and one set of rules for everything else will fail in the US due to "corporations are people too".

Unless of course corporations actually want these rules as it further entrenches their power.
