No term extension?
Monday, November 27th, 2006Via bb. If this rumour turns out to be true, then I’m disproportionately excited about this.
It seems that the work of the Open Rights Group (disclaimer, I’m a proud member of the ‘Founding 1000’) and other public interest groups have succeeded in moving the debate on copyright away from the big labels and entertainment industry and back to the benefits of limited copyright term to society.
It looks like the copyright term won’t be extended to 95 years! Yay! That means more music falls into the public domain and the culture of society gets it’s payback.
