Copyright holders can claim damages for copyright infringements that occurred years or even decades ago, the U.S. Supreme Court has clarified. In a majority decision, the Court rejected the lower court’s argument that there’s a three-year time limit for damages. Older claims are fair game, as long as the lawsuit is filed within three years of ‘discovering’ an infringement.

Hmm, need to figure out how I can trace my lineage back to the first recorded musician so that I can trademark some chords then go after every record label to have ever existed.
Then I’ll try to track down the first ever written script so I can go after the movie industry next
You’re missing the most important element. Disgustingly large pile of money that you can use to drag out a suit until the other end folds.
Eternal copyright damages. This sounds like a safe and reasonable decision by our ever respectable Supreme Court.
You forgot to mention how democratically chosen its’ members are.
