I don't think "Web 2.0" (punched my face again) has anything to copyright laws. You're just hearing that stupid buzzword when laws are finally catching up to technology. I'm sure, the first video link you posted, even before the insanity of the "<blink>" tag, you had to have been worried about content protection, and how; in the venerable words of someone, "security is a myth."
