said by funchords  :The original copyright was 14 years + an additional 14 year term possible. That was before there were highways, let alone an Internet. It doesn't take as much time to market something today, so the terms should be shorter, not longer. Totally agree. What copyrights have turned into is corporations holding onto works and trying to milk every penny they can out of it long after it's initial success has passed.
It's just like record companies holding onto and selling works of deceased artists. That is one thing I will NEVER support, as obviously none of the money is going to the artist it's just going to the cash grabbing corporations. |

But it is often still going to the artist's family if they or the artist hasn't sold the rights.

It is rarely going to anyone, over 90% of the cases it remains in the companies pocket - and even when it does go it's a very little percentage of the money, backed by predatory contracts and other illegal exploitation tactics of the RIAA-mob.

[BQUOTE=[user=bicker]]Waaaa waaaa waaaa. You just want what you want and don't care to factor in what is right or true. Your perspectives are un-American, and deserve far more ridicule than I'm prepared to pile on them.
