Re: Cheap? said by Kearnstd:my idea is hardlocked 15year copyrights from publish date. they would also only be transferable on death of the artist but the timer would not reset. they would also be non extendable and not transferable outside of a legal Will. in short they couldnt be sold around like currently. I agree with this except that I don't see why they shouldn't be freely transferable, as long as the time period is fixed. Fifteen to twenty years makes sense based on the fact that it's a fraction of a lifetime, and that one can usually double one's money in less time than that by investing it. For any artist who's concerned about the future, that should be enough time - and if they don't care, then no amount of extra time will motivate them. |
