Internet has advanced beyond the laws that govern information protection and copywrite and it's high time they took a look at alternative mediums and rewrote the laws and guides to accomodate.

In what sense would you rewrite the laws?

To my way of thinking, the advancement is more in terms of access then it is philosophical. Meaning, I think that the basis for copyright (and other intellectual property protection) is still valid--but that internet and easy copying of digital information (as well as analog music and video) have greatly eroded the protection.

Distribution channels haven't caught up to what is often times freely available through file-sharing, but this again isn't really a philisophical reason to change copyright to me--but rather an argument to change distribution methods.
