dura lex, sed lex. "The law is harsh but it is the law."

  Ha! I presume I deserve that. But what I am asking is -- why is the law this way? And, of course, the next step is, how do I change it? Or much rather: how could I convince the rightsholders to serve us better? For many years I have been yearning to be able to speak up and be heard in copyright-related matters but I can't for my life figure out how.

    Such things have been done. It's a matter of researching the people responsible and trying to figure out what they would respond to. Bring enough folks to the public outcry and maybe they will see your point. There are several movies that exist almost solely because of public outcry, so I would think it might be possible to get an official recording done. Or run for office and work on legislation to change the law. But I seriously doubt you would make many friends in the entertainment industry if you try to change copyright law too much.
