Granted, but I am for 20-year copyrights just because they keep getting longer.
It’s ridiculous to expect two centuries to pass before something goes into the public domain.
I’m not so much bothered by the length, but it’s hardly arbritrary.
Didn’t Disney lobby Congress heavily over the “Winnie the Pooh” copyrights, which were to revert to A.A. Milne’s descendents in the 1990s?
That intellectual property is worth BILLIONS.
