They're the big consumer electronics and PC companies; excessively tight content restrictions make it tougher to sell hardware. If you note Coyle's commentary, CCIA is taking legal action against fraudulent copyright notices--and that's consistent with CCIA's stance in the past. (I left a comment on Coyle's post; I'm a little surprised she's not more familiar with CCIA, which has indeed been around for a very long time.)

He basically asks why there are such harsh violations for infringing owners' rights but not similarly harsh ones for owners' claiming rights they don't have.
