As an interesting aside, in one of the classes I'm taking this semester our midterm is to create a plan to change the status quo of copyright. The assignment was intentionally left very vague, so this could mean anything from educating the public to lobbying congress. Our prof. even gave the ok on distributing CDs with P2P clients and fake music files, the idea being to get students to set up honeypots for the RIAA (to reduce their credibility in court). Anyway we have three weeks to plan this using the class wiki. I suspect our final exam will involve executing the plan or some portion thereof, depending on what we come up with.

I think it's a pretty cool assignment anyway, especially as a cooperative midterm.
