Most countries are being pressured into converging on a global set of copyright laws (among others), so unless we demand and can realise changes in the law, this is going to be a perpetual battle of attrition, and the other side's job in done when it becomes inconvenient enough for widespread use. They don't need to wipe something out completely.

That and us, americans who keep on voting for incompetent fools...Is the FSF able to help in this case if it were a project in their organization? how can devs unite and fight against this type of bullying?...honestly, most of HN keeps on demonizing the FSF when they can be a legal force against cases like these...now we are all fragmented and weak

Copyright convergence is mathematically divergent: some nation extends copyright by a positive integer value, so must all the others. An infinite series of positive integer values cannot converge to an integer value. However, comfort may be found in that this is a process of countable infinity.
