The mechanisation of music is really "young" business,
so no wonder the legislation is going through changes,
now, in the age of sopa and pipa

I think you are right about that, but one should not forget that this
is also the point. In order to protect immaterial property - like
music, that in fact is just a unique idea about distribution of sound
in time - the law has to focus on more fundamental values than the
fluctuating market related factors business models typically are
dealing with.
