Something I'm a little confused about.
There are a lot of CDs out there with title like "80's Ultimate Hit Collection" or "200 Elvis Hits" or "Latin Dance Gems", usually several CDs with lots and lots of songs for a very reasonable price if you are into that sort of thing. I'm assuming those record companies can do that because the songs are no longer in copyright. However, in many cases the songs don't seem to be more than 20 or 30 years old. How does that work?
And if they can do it with music, why isn't it done with books? At least not to the same extent. Yes, I know you can buy something like a "Complete Dickens" but it is not like you can purcchase "Ten Best Thrillers of the 80's".
