Keith Rose on Copyright expansion pressure at work in the US

Keith Rose has written on his blog about ongoing pressure from special interests in the US (and their bipartisan backers in their government) to even further expand copyright domestically and globally.

Interesting to me is the ongoing push by old-economy protectionists to have the government rather than copyright holders launch lawsuits. Enforcement needs to be treated as part of the full costs of a chosen business model, otherwise all the policy becomes is an unfair government intervention into the marketplace to subsidize a specific subset of businesses.
