Re: Haha, pirate bay will never die
Then you aren't agreeing with me. Copyrights are not worthless, nor should they be allowed to become worthless. Time is still limited (granted the length shouldn't be allowed to increase any further...and I think 75 years is more than reasonable). Corporations are essentially individuals, so I'm not sure why they should be excluded from owning copyrights. |

| Copyrights longer than fifty years for various reasons mean that a lot of what should go into the public domain never will. Most copyrighted material stops earning anything long before fifty years but it still costs real money to properly store them after that. |

| Why won't they be able to enter the public domain? Does Disney know about the problem of earning money past fifty years? Have you noticed the digital environment that we're in now? "Stuff" is capable of lasting significantly longer than copyrighted work on a crappy old piece of paper. |

I like you man. You always give me a chuckle whenever one of these stories pop up. You're the only shill in a sea of pirates. |
