Good building safety codes are hard to come up with but it'd be bad for everyone if you had to make your building less safe because someone claimed to own the code.
It would be nice to see a more reasonable copyright term restored, perhaps to pre-1970s lengths, which struck a much fairer balance in my opinion.

That said, I'm not sure the Katy Perry situation is relevant here, though. Music copyright in the US is a completely separate section of the law, and has completely different rules. It has all sorts of bizarre things, like the compulsory license, etc.

So it's important to always remember any time you hear anything about a US music copyright case, you basically can't generalize it to any other field, because the law is completely different in effectively every respect!
