The way I understand copyrights here in the states (and the way I read
the introductory text to the German law) the copyright law is for the
good of the society-- not the publishers' good. The quote applies to
There's no way that copyright laws here in the U.S. can be construed as
anything other than being for the benefit of the publishers, when the
terms keep getting extended further every 20 years or 20. There are even
people who are proposing that copyrights should never expire.
How does that help society?
I have to correct my improper typing. I meant to say "There's no way
that copyright laws here in the U.S. can be construed as anything other
than being for the benefit of the publishers, when the term skeep
getting extend further every 20 years *or so*."
Sorry I was such a bad typist the first time. :-(
