I would not hold my breath waiting for that to change just because it annoys the "I want it" crowd. So far, no law says that wanting something entitles you to get it.

Don't like it? Write your congressman and see how far it gets you.

...and that's what it would take.
Not sure why you think the government should pay for something they will get for free eventually. Perhaps you are using the term eminent domain to mean reducing the term of copyright.
