This is one of those opportunities where the right and the left can combine to defeat the bribed and bridled middle.
Excellent point. For all those on the left who reflexively repeat that corporations shouldn’t have rights (Citizens United) here’s something we should be able to agree on:
“The hard lobbying paid off, with Congress enacting copyright reform through the Copyright Act of 1976. This revision allowed works to be protected for the author’s life, plus 50 years, or 75 years for works owned by corporations. This pushed protection for Mickey Mouse to 2003.”
Make individual and corporate copyright the same. 56 years period.
As someone who makes money off copyright liscensing….I love the current laws. Lol
