I think you're right. I work for a company that makes anal probes, and my favorite design idea i've seen was the concept probe that bore a distinct resemblance to some manner of martian ray gun.
No I'm not kidding. I work on anal probes for a living.;P
After what I just heard on the radio this week... I can only imagine the kind of crazy extensions they'll try to start tacking onto copyright.
On my local radio station, every monday morning the morning show DJ's (Stuck 'n Gunner, if anyone's heard of 'em) will do "Microwave Monday". This involves either putting something in a microwave that one is not supposed to, or otherwise somehow mangling, tormenting, and/or destroying a microwave.
A couple months back, they had a popular band on the show (who I guess I better not mention, as I haven't purchased the rights to say their name in public). The DJ's and said band proceeded to bash the living hell out of a microwave on video, and posted the video (as they do with all their MM videos) online.
This past week the record label for that band got the video taken down on some kind of alleged copyright violation... for a video of the band smashing a microwave; no musical performance involved. WTF?!?!?! Glad i didn't become a musician. Apparently becoming a big name US musician means you can no longer do anything on video, ever, without paying the label.
