Copyright et al. is just the most well-known program point they. AFAIK the movement started in scandinavia (sweden?) as response to some Pirate Bay issues I forgot about after all the SOPA, ACTA Megaupload stories. Already sorry for being to lacy to look it up right now.

Actually, it was started a few months before the police raid on the Pirate Bay raid. Membership exploded at that point though.
