Isn't this an old story? I thought the Ars Technica article from December was much better ;-) http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2008/12/uk-ignores-logic-backs-20-year-music-copyright-extension.ars > I specially like this part > > Said the source: "The 'creativity' argument is based on ignorance. > "There is nothing to stop a creative person using an old recording as part of > their work - as long as they do not release it. > > Like to see that stand up in court... Right - typical comment from someone whose understanding of copyright-law is for how it was pre-DRM-law. I liked this quote best: ""Some of them have no pensions and need this money," he said." Shouldn't have squandered it on booze and fags then eh? :-) Cheers, Dave (Personal opinion only.) - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
