Actually, he’s a musician. And while I’m anti RINO, I’m in favor of copyright laws and think they should last as long as any other property rights...say a house and land.

And I’m in favor of the LIMITED time for copyrights and patents as expressed by this nation’s founders.

If your copyrights were treated as houses actually are ,then you would have to pay annual taxes regardless of whether you derived any income from those copyrights.Now THAT would be something to see;I can imagine the howls of those who think they and their descendants should never work again just because they had one good idea,as though their ideas sprang from nowhere instead of being built on the whole knowledge of those before.

The old Greeks spoke of restring on one’s laurels, and I got the impression it WASN’T a compliment.
