This is supremely perverse.  Nobody has any rights to information.  Period. 
You just get exclusive rights to original expression.

Take them on head-on with that point.  State it bluntly: Copyright doesn't
cover information.  Information is free.  Always has been.  Still is.  Won't
change, unless we let it.

usual practice in ordinary social discourse to which one holds no claim of
