In this case, Cliff et al have conjured a spectre that law makers have felt confident cowering to. The instantaneous value of the copyright in question has become crippling to law makers, trapped in the headlights of old intellectual capital. The alternative, to welcome a continuous introduction of content to the chaos of the public domain ecosystem, lost this round.
