This sort of decision is exactly why an independent judiciary is needed. Copyright is not in any sense a "fundamental" human right. Freedom from prior restraint arguably is.
Politicians will never recognize this fact because the copyright-based media not only contributes heavily to the financing of their campaigns but also brings those campaigns to the electorate. This is why, in the US at least, it's always the court system that saves us from the worst legislative assaults against free speech.
