I'd say they're relevant in several ways, particularly as I said, as the champions of the concept of "intellectual property". Huge corporations and their bought politicians are the main group behind the movement to try to control and restrict every act of copying data, because they are the dragons sitting on the treasure horde, and as long as they can pull it off, they can charge admission to see the treasure they sit on, even though they didn't create it.
