Copyright shouldn't be what I have on my personal information. That's the wrong model to use. I'm not selling my own personal information and I'm not miffed by the idea of losing out on customers. In fact, I don't even want customers. My information is already being sold without my consent or involvement, and that's fucked up. I don't want them to come to me, I want them to go to jail.
The correct model is indeed privacy, which is that people should have the right to their PII not being sold or distributed without their express, informed consent. This has nothing to do with piracy or copyright. I'd say people should have the right to their PII not even being recorded in the first place, but consent to recording is often implied when you voluntarily provide it in exchange for a service, so we still need additional protections on top.
I'd still appreciate not being recorded without my express consent, though. I appreciate countries that have laws against it.
I do appreciate GDPR and its effects on data storage, retrieval and deletion. But it's only one piece of a complete set of privacy-preserving regulations, IMHO.
