IMO, it will never be addressed unless affects more people (generating more grass-roots activism or civil disobedience). I don't think most people care about the origins of copyright or the balance it was intended to strike between facilitating a market (through social, public law) and recompensing society as the ultimate property owner (through Public Domain).
If the vast majority don't see a value from Public Domain, there will be little political influence (as corporations and special interest groups representing artists lobby for the value they see in the other side of the equation).
I think that's the challenge. How to make the vast disinterested aware of the issues in terms they can understand.

So there is your challenge for you. Start a special interest group and call it for the people and explain how it effects the average person in the long term.
