"The copyright act needs to become more generic and easier to understand,
not more like a union negotiated contract that spells out every possible
inter-personal relationship of creators. Those environment-specific
power dynamics should be dealt with in other legislation such that they
don't have the massive "unintended" (uncaring, depending on who you will
talk to) consequences that placing them in the Copyright Act will cause."

Generic in law is idealistic and leaves too much room for
interpretation by people who don't have the moral standing to use the
law in a way benefiting society, rather they would use it in a way for
their own personal gain. Common sense is not universal.
