I bet this will be even more effective than the previous attempts to rein in or protest against the length of copyright law.

@TechniSol, that reminds me of Thursday Next. A big problem in the BookWorld is the knowledge that:
"there are only 8 original plots."
"The last of the Original Ideas was used", well, I think "about 20 or 30 years back." (Err, not quite, since Thursday got a little piece of it fom Mrs. Haversham and bought a Generic with it for complicated reasons...)
