Don't forget an end to other bad laws against things like shoplifting and other forms of theft. Things cost too much! (Congress can start first by arbitrarily rewriting mortgage contracts without the lenders' consent.)

I'm torn here. On the one hand, I respect the right of creators to control their work. On the other, the ridiculous awards and demanded settlements do not endear the MPAA or the RIAA to me either. I agree that copyright goes on way too long nowadays, but let's face it, kids aren't downloading stuff from the 1930s and 1940s that should be public domain by now.

An absurd and manifestly unjust law is weakening respect for the law. A good start at reform would be to repeal the 1999 Copyright Extension Act.
