What you say makes a lot of sense and I found it interesting. We have, in a sense, a serial open source development model in the law, building on prior teachings. But we have to have some predictability. A new direction might be better, but it puts the system in an uproar and has to be tested first. Perhaps the state of copyright law is a good example of where the system is currently failing, the legal system is moving too slowly to deal well with the new technology and how that has changed our understandings and expectations about what should be considered a legal wrong. Great post.
