Copy right law is going inthe oppiste dirction you( and just abou everyone else ) wants. Companies like Disney won't let it be sensible. 35 years ago the max a copyright could last was 58 years. then it was 75 then 95. This is all thanks to Disney and a few other companies. God forbid someone uses Steamboat Willie without compensating Dinsey. The copyright on that runs out in 2022 so you can be damned sure Disney will ask for another increase in copyright. Essentially nothing after 1926 will ever be public domain ever. Our founding fathers never intended for people to have perpetual copyrights. 56 years was PLENTY of time to make money off your work. Sorry if you wrote a song in 1953 and still haven't made money off it then too bad. It's insane that a song written by Irving Berlin in 1924 won't be free of copyright under current law until 2059, because for self publishing it's life plus 70 years and Berlin lived to be 101 and died in 1989. Imagine if books and other works from 1874 were still under copyright and you had to ask permisison and pay compensation to some guy's great great great gandson.
