There is no such thing as "copyright industry". The motion picture industry, the phonographic industry, the book publishing industry, the software industry, the video game industry all closely related to copyright yet they are all very different businesses with very different problems, "screwed up" very different ways. This is gross oversimplification and I am sad that this level of naïve uninformed populism is making it to the top of HN.
It is true that they are owned by the same groups (e.g. the Bertelsmann Group) and that's somewhat relevant but I wouldn't think that has too much importance. These companies exchange owners very often. I'm repeating myself but the woes of these industries are so immensely different in nature, the only thing they share in common is that they blame piracy for their problems, for better or worse.
