To repost the point that I was actually making (which had nothing to do with politics), the reason we won't see copyright reform in the US is because there is no moneyed interest that wants shorter copyright. The copyright holders, especially with regards to movies and music since they drive the discussion, want that golden goose to keep laying golden eggs for eternity. If we could somehow extract books from movies and music, then I think we would see the US go back to what I consider a rational copyright length.
