Wrong. It sounds nice and is a good guideline - but what about the guy at my workplace who is extremely skinny yet eats whatever he wants, drinks a lot, gets little sleep and exercises maybe once every few weeks? He cannot gain weight. Please explain that.
I actually miss grits.
Meanwhile, the Open Rights Group is running a Release The Music campaign, with a petition you can sign. There's also one asking for the right to privately copy CDs to iPods. Are Slashdot readers as good at signing petitions as dead musicians?"
If you read the list, you'll see that at least some of these artists are apparently dead (e.g. Lonnie Donegan, died 4th November 2002; Freddie Garrity, died 20th May 2006). I take it the ability of these dead authors to sign a petition asking for their copyright terms to be extended can only mean that even after death, term extension continues to inspire.
I'm not yet sure how. But I guess I should be a good sport about it, and just confess I was wrong. For if artists can sign petitions after they've died, then why can't they produce new recordings fifty year ago?
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
