While I don't agree that "user" has connotation of being "parasitical", talking
about "user's rights" as oposed to "autor's rights" reinforces the idea of the
artificial division of people in "creators" and "consumers".

Unfortunately, "public" has a similar connotation (artist/public). I think
"people's rights" or "human rights" are better alternatives.
