Hi,
With respect to the point that copyright may not survive if not
reformed ... a similar thought was expressed by Jessica Litman in
"Digital Copyright" (2001) -- that's right, 10 years ago:
=============================================================
As I have watched the copyright wars
intensify, however, it has seemed to me that consumers' widespread
noncompliance offers a very real ray of hope. I don't expect large
crowds of Napster-deprived citizens to rise up in civil
disobedience against a law that they perceive as unjust–even in
the post-Napster world, copyright will not be a hot issue.
Instead, I expect that most people will continue to ignore a law
written in barely comprehensible prose that makes no sense
whatsoever from their point of view. . . People don't obey laws
that they don't believe in. . .If a law is bad enough, even its
proponents might be willing to abandon it in favor of a different
law that seems more legitimate to the people it is intended to
command.
=============================================================
All the best,
