And this gives them the moral right to control copyright legislation in the 
United States and, via international arm-twisting, the world?

At the risk of being pedantic, the traditional goal of copyright and patent 
protections is to further creativity and benefit society as a whole.  It is 
most specifically not intended to bolster a business model or a revenue 
stream.  At some point things got turned around, methinks.
