$. Money. And time, but time is money. Trailers are done on a tight deadline, since you actually need some scenes that a)are through post-production; and b)actually look pretty cool and would make people want to see the film.
Since the film may not even have finished shooting, let alone post, when the first trailers roll out, the score to the actual film is a loooong ways off and a composer probably hasn't even been hired yet, so you need some pre-existing music.
Plus, IIRC, it's usually the guy who edits the trailer who picks the music - they don't necessarily have the broadest collection or tastes.
Well, the best example of an industry entirely supported by outmoded legislation is the illegal drug trafficking industry. It's just a blatant price subsidy, really, artificially restricting demand in the same way OPEC does. Were it to be legalized, the industry would collapse as commodification slashes prices and the vast majority of producers are forced out of business.
If the state didn't recognize property rights and allow enforcement through the courts and police, squatters could occupy your land, your stock certificates would be meaningless paper - and so would your paper currency.
ALL industries in the end come down to legal recognition of property rights and the enforcement of those rights.

Windoze XP SP967 - now guaranteed not to cause your ears to bleed*! Safe** for use near pets and small children! *tested in a controlled laboratory environment on a random sampling of M$ contract workers - YMMV ** M$ makes no warranty express or implied about the effects of the product on actual users of the software. Some users have reported headaches, extreme nausea and depression after using XP. Use only as direted. Unauthorized copies of XP may cause blindness or instant death - you have been warned.
Because the alternative is a legal code written so that any one can understand it. The result would be so general and devoid of detail and precision that no one could usefully apply it to any particular situation before the fact, and we would be completely at the mercy of the judiciary to make ex post facto determinations of what does and doesn't fall into the general statement of law.
That would result in a complex system of conflicting case law and, guess what, you would need lawyers again to understand what those simple laws mean.
Lon Fuller has a great discussion of this in his book The Morality of Law.
IANAL, but my understanding has always been that you're taking a risk when you submit an overbroad patent - if even one of the listed embodiments doesn't actually work, the patent is invalid, at least from that claim to the end of that chain of patent claims.

What IS the plural of nemesis, anyway? Nemesissies doesn't seem right.
