Three Myths about Copyright Law and Where to Start to Fix it (PDF) (only 8 pages - don't be lazy, go read it!)
According to this blog entry, the study was quickly removed from the original site, but thanks to the wonders of the internet, someone saved it and made it available elsewhere (probably in violation of a copyright law somewhere
).
The 3 myths:
1. The purpose of copyright is to compensate the creator of the content
2. Copyright is free market capitalism at work
3. The current copyright legal regime leads to the greatest innovation and productivity
Their suggestions for fixing copyright law:
1. Statutory Damages Reform
2. Expand Fair Use
3. Punish false copyright claims
4. Heavily limit the terms for copyright, and create disincentives for renewal

is this the one authored by the aide in DC who got fired after the lobbyists found out about it?

Copyright laws are being walked over every day by file sharing, streaming, etc.
Battle for creators of content (writers filmmakers musicians) to get paid for their work.
Watering down the laws further harms creatives.

It really irritates me that people abuse the system and download music for free because they are too freaking cheap to pay a buck on itunes. If you owned a retail store, would you let people walk in and take stuff off the shelves without paying? Just another sad commentary on the downfall of society today.
