Before that happens, copyright infringement needs to be redefined so it doesn't include college students copying a poem to the front of their study notebook for inspiration, and small children drawing pictures of Superman to hang on the fridge. Is taking a photo of a bookstore display copyright infringement? After all, you're making copies of all that artwork.
We need a clear definition of "non-infringing copies and derivatives" before moving unauthorized copies into the criminal realm.
