I'll back human greed. The MPAA members bought an extension twice before, they'll try to buy another one again. It won't just be a bill languishing with no debate, and no hope. It'll be a serious attempt. As serious as SOPA was.
And for all we know, it may already be embedded in the details of TPP. Would an NZ Wikileak be particularly interested in the internal working of US copyright? After all, it would be a great way to get it passed in the US without debate...
My bet's down, and my money's on the table. . .

You're absolutely right about this. There will be future copyright extensions. There's no way these corporations are going to relinquish their cash cows.
