To: Still Thinking

I’ve had a campaign going for the last 20 years that all Copyrights on books, music, and movies should last only 17 years, same time as for U.S. Patents.

Just as with patents, copyrights that are allowed to last forever:
1) stunt creativity.
2) curtail new production
3) create endless lawsuits
4) keep Democrats in power.
