If you think 10 years is too short, Facebook, a $57 billion dollar company, did not exist 10 years ago.
What baffles me is that many major artists argue for more copyright. It's like they are drinking the kool-aid of the corporate masters. What they should be doing is negotiating better contracts. Instead, they have a few stars supporting a majority of losers. The losers never make anything, and the stars make orders of magnitude less than they otherwise would. It's nothing to do with copyright law. It's simply a poor business model post internet.
I still vote, and don't mind doing stuff like this, but I'm afraid unless you have a few million dollars to throw at capitol hill your vote doesn't count for much, even all of hacker news combined.
