:Business models and copyright laws need to change. both are several decades too old.
the problem is changing either moves at a glacial pace, from the time Napster hit the net it has taken how long for the music industry to "get it" when it comes to DRM free tracks for legit download?.
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.
