Why start there? Again I understand you haven't really studied
copyright but quite a few wikipedians have. So everything from
copyright maximalist anarco-capitalists to the usual annoying
everything should be free crowd is well understood. And thats before
we even begin to consider historic positions and those that involve
technology that hasn't been invented yet.

Not really. No new stats no worthwhile legal or technical analysis.

SOAP is dead. It is largely irrelevant at this point. Perhaps you
couldn't find anyone talking about ACTA but that suggests a concerning
lack of google skills. Incidentally the length of your quote is really
pushing it a bit with regards to the UKs fair dealing provisions. But
perhaps you are unconcerned with such matters.
