I just read that a woman is suing the t.v. show, “Big Bang Theory” based on her recent discovery that her mother evidently copy righted in 1937 “Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty etc. that the Big Bang Theory has used several times.
1937! Where does it end?
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.
When you own something, when do you want to let anyone use it for free without permission?
