Times change. We're industrializing information creation and consumption (the latter is mostly here already), and we can't be stuck in the old copyright regime. It'll be useless in very short order.

All this road bump will do will give the giant megacorps time to ink deals, solidify their lead, and trounce open source. Twenty years on, the pace of content creation will be as rapid as thought itself and we'll kick ourselves for cementing their lead.

This is a transitional period between two wildly different worlds.
