Live music copyrights changing

Bootlegs from live music can be copyrighted, but only for a limited time. It's that whole pesky Constitution thing (Article 1, Section 8, "by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries [my emphasis]"), unlike what the original law said (namely, protection for all time).
