Always interesting to see people's reactions to copyright for GPL Code vs Music/Movies/Games.

About as interesting as peoples reactions to free speech for terrorists vs civil right advocates. If we want to live in a bubble deprived from context, enforcing a share-and-share-alike principle for mega companies is the exact same thing as suing a 8 year old girl for international piracy.

I personally choose to not live in such bubbles.

You are varying two things there. Apples to apples would be comparing GPL software to proprietary software, or proprietary music/movies/games to CC-BY-SA music/movies/games.
