Mullica Hill, NJ | we need new copyright laws. we need to remap the copyright to mirror that of the Drug patent. it lasts a fixed number of years and then goes to the public. its worked fine for the pharma industry which has much more at risk if something is a dud and doesnt make profit before the patent expires. a movie or music is a few mil, some drugs are a few billion and they dont stay patented for 100+ years.
