Extend copyright law to 3000 years? Retroactively? Huh?

Can we copyright soap, air conditioning, sunglasses? You know, stuff the Egyptians use all the time but never pay us for.

Good luck applying this law to anywhere outside of Egypt.

the move was necessary to pay for the upkeep of the country's thousands of pharaonic sites. Yah. Forget all the tourist bucks (okay, EGP) you're alreay collecting.
Been there once; pass this and I'm not coming back ever again. Your greedy leeches can starve -- or at least learn a useful occupation.

"Thirty-five million tourists visit Las Vegas to see the reproduction of Luxor city while only six million visit the real Egyptian city of Luxor," the paper lamented. Gee I can't imagine why. Let me think...

Perhaps we should consult with that famous egyptologist, Hassin Bin Laid, before we go any further.

In a potential blow to themed resorts from Vegas to Tokyo, Egypt is to pass a law requiring payment of royalties whenever its ancient monuments, from the pyramids to the sphinx, are reproduced. Good luck with that.

Egyptians pay for the use of the sundries. We sell them to the consumers who then praise America for all we’ve done for them.
To: coloradan
Can we copyright soap, air conditioning The inventor was never paid, either.

"Thirty-five million tourists visit Las Vegas to see the reproduction of Luxor city while only six million visit the real Egyptian city of Luxor," the paper lamented. Perhaps because the odds of being kidnapped and murdered by Islamist thugs in Vegas is a bit smaller than in Luxor.

What about the ancient astronauts that built the pyramids?
