    I agree that, on at a microscopic scale, an individual capitalist may 
    have many capital-generating options open to him.

I do think that is the case, but that isn't what I was referring to.
I was talking about different ways that capitalist societies can be
organized.  Consider the US in the 1920s, the US in 1940, the US in
1960, the US in 1975, and the US today.  All capitalist, but quite
different variants of capitalism, with different positions on
many issues.  Copyright is one of the issues on which different
variants of capitalism can take different positions.
