I wonder when general internet sentiment moved from pro-piracy to IP maximalism. Fascinating shift.

That is fairly easy to answer: When the infringement shifted from small people taking from Walt Disney to Silicon Valley taking from everyone, including open source authors and small YouTube channels.
