if the Feds ever took away copyrighting they would be sued beyond what the gov't could ever pay.
The government doesn't have to take copyright away, they just have to make it a condition of copyright that bundling is illegal. The Constitution gives Congress the power to make laws that promote the arts ands sciences (such as copyright) but it doesn't preclude Congress from making bundling cable channels illegal. BTW the government can even make it impossible to win a lawsuit against the government.

just because the own the copy right doesnt mean the can just take the copyright away.

And just by taking the copyright away wouldn't make the bundling illegal.
