And after the Constitution, the Congress passed several dozen changes to copyright law since then. You may not agree with those changes. I certainly think the times involved are WAY too long. But it is the law.
What this all comes down to is that many people get annoyed with efforts that would prevent then from getting music & movies for free. They hate copyright laws and anytime countries get together to stop them from infringement activities, the torches & pitchforks come out.
Is it any wonder these treaties are negotiated out of the limelight? Getting input from those who oppose copyright on principle would be a total waste of time. Because no amount of compromise would ever satisfy them.
