Who decides how much money they should be allowed to make? What does that have to do with anything? They created it and it is theirs. I have no problem with artists copywriting their work.
The Brits had no problem with prohibiting Elvis, Sinatra, and others (estates or individuals) from extending THEIR own copyrights.
The Beatles should’ve been hung by the same rope. Or else the extensions should’ve been permitted for the pre-British Invasion pop stars.
It’s the double standard I don’t like.
And the Beatles and Cliff Richard were behind it.
Oh poor them.
