    barring a complete redesign of intellectual property law from its very foundation.

    lets just hope theres no media empire with a legion of mouse-eared lawyers champing at the bit to do such a thing.

    similarly i’d be a bit worried that any new legislation would be more strongly influenced by those rights-holding interest groups rather than consumers.

    Imagine someone in 50 years who wants a rom from the 80s. will they be able to get it easily?

    It’d be nice if it was as easy as getting hold of a brothers grimm story.
