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.
Agreed.

SOPA was opposed by a lot of big internet companies with a vested interest. Companies like Google, Facebook and ebay.

The same strength of opposition doesn't exist for copyright extension. Public domain is dead in the U.S.
