This basically allows legislators to force anything into the public domain by simply referencing it in a law. I'd rather see legislators forced to negotiate with copyright holders to make their works public domain, or else have their laws become invalid and thrown out, and have their governments subject to lawsuits for trying to enforce copyrighted laws.

> This basically allows legislators to force anything into the public domain by simply referencing it in a law. Legislators can presently force literally whatever they want into the public domain simply by creating a law that does that. It's a toxic principle to place copyright on a pedestal where profit overrides the public good and copyright holders can hold good regulation hostage.
