Not the proposed 20% software basis ex-time deduction, certainly.

But any wider change to copyright might affect publisher behavior
directly, or even indirectly through some purturbation it triggers
in the accounting treatment of copyright assets. Changes to the
tax code are like changes to most complex software systems: at
best you can only move the bugs around :)
