Are you referring to which jurisdiction?  If I'm not mistaken, the revision 
to the US code which brought over copyright terms that go over 100 years 
dates back to 1978, and I don't believe you can claim a link between that 
revision and any software industry.

How exactly do you go from having the right to access a copyrighted work for 
personal use without any authorization to pay "the development costs for a 
handful of competing companies"?

Where exactly do you see a link between unauthorized distribution of 
copyrighted works for personal use and "arriving home to find a burglar"?
