Well, being that we really don't know what went on in the minds of congress when they passed the latest set of extensions, I think it is possible that men of good will might still reasonably differ over what the purpose of the current copyright law is.
That being said, I personally tend to agree with you. The problem is that there is no effective lobbying orginization for the public domain.
