Exactly.
This technology was clearly not one anticipated when the Constitution or the first Copyright Act was written. Or any of the later ones.
This will not fit in existing laws, so we have to go back to the purpose, "promote the progress of science and useful arts" via "securing for limited times to authors and inventors" particular rights.
What specific rights we'll need to secure here are going to take a while to work out. But new technologies have forced updates to copyright laws many times, and I' sure this won't be the last time.
