“I think copyright of music should only last 10 or 20 years after the death of the song writer and performer the same for books and art. I also think that copyrights should always reside with there creator and not be transferable.”
Why?
Do you think the house your father built should only belong to you after he dies for 20 years?
Then anyone can go live in it.
copy rights were meant to compensate artists....an idea cant be owned forever.....no it is not the same as inheriting a house......my suggestion is go be creative yourself not to rely on an the accident of your birth allowing you to sit back and do nothing with your life..
