In the familiar, conventional point of view: "copyright laws are increasingly restrictive, with longer terms, scope creep (e.g. software), DMCA, and (failed) SOPA/PIPA, stifling innovation. It's incompatible with the Web when every meme is a violation". But perhaps you can also have the "realpolitik" point of view: complete copyright enforcement is made impractical by the Web, so lawmakers try harsher laws to compensate as a performative art to save legacy business models, with little effect at individual level. The control is as good as what British tax laws did to America.
