Our government adopted US based copyright law as a prerequisite of
being able to trade with the USA. (US Free Trade Agreement) Most other
nations are in a similar position I am sure if the USA is promoting it
then it will be something we will face.
The author is not the only person who can terminate.
As with patent law it is the chilling effect of not being able to
trust some nodes in a community of information which is the problem,
ie the idea that the commons is not durable, that investing in
relationships to innovate is a risk.

What other ways can we support the commons and explore options for free culture.
