While I'll grant you that copyright is a privilege granted by government, copyright is not the only form of IP protection and not all of them are treated in the same way. I will also add that what constitutes an IP violation is determined by the particular claims of the rights-holder with respect to the wording of license/contract in question. Those violations are not predetermined "defaults" set up by legislation.

The GDPR, on the other hand, presupposes a global positive right to privacy irrespective of national sovereignty or contractual agreement to the contrary and that any alleged violation from any point on the planet carries with it a presumption of guilt. A regular complaint on this forum is that the US regularly oversteps it's bounds via legislation like the CLOUD ACT. I don't see why it's any less of a concern when the EU does it.
