It does when those expansions are a 180 degree departure from what the constitution says.

It apparently did just fine for a few hundred years, and I don't see why it gets chucked out the window with the introduction of digital distribution.
Most of the expansions that have changed copyright's primary purpose have happened in the last 30 years or so. If you want to move copyright law back to what it was a few hundred years ago, I'd be all for it.

Logically, it does not make sense that an individual should be allowed to violate copyright laws solely because it is now technically possible and/or easy.
Of course not, and I never said anything of the kind.
