The entertainment industry doesn’t help their own cause when they constantly pass extensions to copyrights that are about to lapse in the public domain.

BAMMO! EXACTLY!!!!! The concept of copyright and royalties was to provide incentives to artists and writers. Hank Williams is DEAD! Elvis is DEAD! Walt Disney is DEAD! Copyright was NOT intended so creepy little guys in $3000 suits could go around suing people to collect money on creative works which they had no part in making.

I’d sooner buy directly from the Artist and pay him for the download.
