I predict a lot of bad decisions that try and prevent drastic changes to the status quo without trying to actually look at the logic of copyright and IP and the future.

Of course, what else can they do? Admit that market capitalism and intellectual property are perhaps obsolete? While sure, there are limits on raw resources, a good chunk of the "scarcity" in products is labor and know-how -- in learning the skills to improve or adapt. That's essentially going to be zero in cost in the near future.

So much of this hype around "jurisprudence" and there is little theology in play; it's merely going with keeping track of who owns what and preserving whatever the status quo is -- then reverse engineering that onto whatever some law said. Over many iterations of interpretation -- some of these concepts bare little resemblance to their Constitutional underpinnings.

And, it's not like we could pass any Amendments today to save our lives -- we can't even save our lives over Global Warming.
