Lawrence Lessig rocks....
FREE CULTURE: HOW BIG MEDIA USES TECHNOLOGY AND THE LAW TO LOCK DOWN CULTURE AND CONTROL CREATIVITY by Lawrence Lessig:

But whether it takes pages or a few
words, it is the special genius of a common
law system, as ours is, that the law adjusts
to the technologies of the time. And as it
adjusts, it changes. Ideas that were as
solid as rock in one age crumble in another.

Or at least, this is how things happen
when there’s no one powerful on the other
side of the change.
