You are welcome to do something better, just not the same.
i personally think this is the reaction to an over extension of the monopoly power of copyright
extending the life of copyright every time MM would have come into the public domain is getting people pissed off.

I however believe that this is the other extreme and the middle ground of what the law was originally stated as is good enough "reigning in" of IP monopoly.

Make abuses of fair use punishable under the sherman anti trust law (3x revenue damages) would balance the act adequately and keep the insentive to produce unprofitable art.
