This might be old news, but definitely worth hearing. Last November, Mary-Beth Peters, the head of the US Copyright office, stated that

We've certainly lengthened the term [of copyright] perhaps -- I won't even say perhaps -- too long a term. I think it is too long. I think that was probably a big mistake, but one that Congress can make. (via Boing Boing)

Too bad Lessig didn't have one of those videos of her statement available during Eldred vs Ashcroft.
