Entirely wrong approach.
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8:
“To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;”
What should be done is to change “for limited Times” to be decades less that what was defined in the period of printing with wood blocks. Make copyrights only last from the time of first publication plus a few months. For example, one could use the time a book is on the NYTimes best seller list. Music based on length of time on the top 50 of it’s genre. You can even slice things up further by granting longer terms for writers so the movie/tv industry must pay them before they can even hire an actor. And for movies? Only until the next Oscar ceremony. And for “residuals” after a year – zero them out – i.e., no residuals. Oh, and have a Dept. of Plagiarism established to go after all those NYTimes writers that steal others works. Give Holder something tangible to do with his time while he’s awaiting sentencing.
The point is: OK to enforce but must reduce the protected time to months instead of decades.
