Obviously perpetual copyrights are unconstitional. It explicitly says so in Article 1 of the Constitution...
"To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries;"
Notice how no execeptions are made for abandonware, shareware, vaporware, freeware or any other type. So now the question to ask seems to be what constitutes limited? My limited copyright time doesnt seem to equal Mickey Mouse's.

3. They shut up with out putting up. (Which in the end is what will actually happen)
Implications are only false when a true premise leads to a false conclusion.
