There is no natural progression of law here. The first US copyright laws lasted seven years. Works were sold to publishers, they were printed, and shipped around the nation on boats and trains.

As culture has accelerated our laws have only gotten more draconian. I'm all for this fight, but don't doubt that it will be just that, a fight that the victors will write the history of.
