Copywrong

"By the end of the day, John has infringed the copyrights of twenty emails, three legal articles, an architectural rendering, a poem, five photographs, an animated character, a musical composition, a painting, and fifty notes and drawings. All told, he has committed at least eighty-three acts of infringement and faces liability in the amount of $12.45 million (to say nothing of potential criminal charges)."

Says it all... But of course laws can never be changed, ever. No matter how distant and detached they become from reality. Law can never, ever change. Ever. That would be "amnesty."
