No kidding! The thought of ten year travel does make an interesting dilemma, though, as opposed to a hundred years where they'll definitely be dead -- will they wait for you that long? Can a relationship stand up to that kind of stress?
Hrm, that's an interesting point. On the other hand you tend to have a lot of variation in copyright law between location here, too. I wonder if you would have regional copyrights, say, where something is protected only for a certain amount of time in one location.
What occurs to me here is that assuming instantaneous communication you would probably have quite a bit of interference via espionage methods -- brute forcing encryptions set by civilizations with less computing power, say. On the other hand if trade and travel are very limited there may be less incentive for interfering in the first place.
