Yeah this made me really disappointed as well. We've probably already lost so many works because the original distributors have long gone out of business and we're not legally allowed to preserve them. Not to mention that most of the original authors are dead so it's not like this is for their benefit. Such onerous terms are only there for the benefit of bloated megacorps. Aaron's case is also relevant to how our government views the matter: the prosecutor wanted to use him as an example even though JSTOR only cared about getting the articles back and it also made up a ridiculous sum for their monetary losses. These copyright terms are not built for the good of society.
