If one follows the news and op eds in the US, patent protection, especially medical patent protection, is a very big thing in the US right now. It's entirely possible that the main thrust of the negotiations was patent protection and copyright was simply swept up as part of the tendency to combine Patents and Copyright into one "Intellectual Property" bundle.

I frequently find that Harlon's Razor is true - "Never attribute to malice what can be adequately be explained by stupidity". A similar saying was attributed to Napoleon.
