Everytime I read about Warner Brothers (or any of the big 4), it seems like it is only a matter of time until their house-of-cards business model is dismantled.

Everytime I read about Warner Brothers (or any of the big 4), it seems like it is only a matter of time until their house-of-cards business model is dismantled. However, like this article say, it seems like even when they don't have outdated IP laws protecting their dubious claims to works, they still wield the threat of expensive litigation.
Someday, IP laws will be forced to change. But currently the biggest impediment is large corporations like WB gumming up the legal system to prevent any minority opinions.
