The utility of intellectual monopoly is grossly overrated. You could take a flamethrower to those laws tomorrow and the only groups that would suffer are copyright lawyers and giant content companies.
But sure, I'll compromise for five years. If nothing else it'll help prove that it's not the end of the world for artists.

Mind you, to clarify, I think that if the choices are "keep it as it is" or "get rid of it," "get rid of it" is the best option. At this point it's too dangerous to leave it as it is.
