Well, it's a fundamental contradiction, for starters. Public domain is public domain, as in out of copyright. You can't have something in the public domain, but still have its use be restricted.

The disagreement is not about what is, but what should.
I'm seeing a lot of prevarication between the two, and a lot of taking for granted of even the existence of copyright, despite the it being a modern creation entirely of positive law.
