I think they are expressing a view that we ought to offer less protection / more scrutiny to larger commercial entities, which concentrate disproportionate amounts of wealth and power, compared to smaller entities. I tend to agree.

This is more or less correct. We can have systems to compensate creators that aren't identical to the copyright system we have today. If I were to rephrase my previous statement, I'd clarify instead saying: "I do not like copyright as it exists today."

As a society we want to incentivize innovation and reward things that advance society. One of the ways we do that today is copyright. It doesn't need to be the only way, or be done in the ways we do it now.
