One benefit, for the public, of limited copyright periods would be that modern works offered for sale would have to compete with the free material in the public domain.
A reasonable term, like the 20 years suggested above, would have modern recordings going up against music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s which would be IP-free. It would force current artists to truly innovate and provide high-quality new material. -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34928 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
