Did you even read my comment, or have you actually tracked down any of Shakespeare’s decendents to make sure they got paid for that copy of King Lear you read in high school?
It is up to Congress to determine the limited period of time in which to extend patent and copy rights. They have done so. The works of artists are property rights which are part of the estate of the copyright holder. These rights can and should be part of the inheritance of the families of the creators just as the homes you paid for with your own sweat and tears.
I have no inherent right to the fruits of another man’s labor. If Congress has chosen to protect the property rights of authors as part of their estates, then that is just fine with me.
Normally Congress tries to take away the property rights of its Citizens. Here is a case where they have given additional protection to those rights.
The liberals are all sad because they want everything to be free. It’s not fair!!!
Boo freaking Hoo.
