And who will handle the renewing? Copyrighter 5000? Or will people be involved in the process? It's been tried before and didn't seem to do much of anything.

[QUOTE=Kali Yuga;1986666]This law applies to out-of-print works that are as recent as 11 years old.
Unless you're going to suggest a 5-year copyright term as ideal, this law is not addressing a duration issue. Quote:
As far as archiving for future, I would also be okay with that although I like the idea of making books available sooner rather than later. That would benefit no one; even the select few corporations with enduring works they could capitalize on forever would be hurt be losing access to future public domain works. Your suggestion is really just nonsense. Last edited by Ninjalawyer; 03-01-2012 at 02:00 PM. |

Copyright is definately like property in the sense that you can exclude others from it, but it is unclear how much it makes sense to import concepts of tangible goods into the sphere of copyright. Last edited by Ninjalawyer; 03-01-2012 at 10:34 PM. |

You can say, I do not want you to copy something. But that does not mean that I am not allowed to copy that thing.

OTOH, that very interesting blog does make it clear that are enough issues about it that authors should be very wary indeed. For instance, even though the author can't be paid less than the publisher, it seems that the publisher might be paid twice - once through royalties, and once through these payments, and the payment organisation will also cream off some of the profits. More importantly, it seems the authors won't be given any warning that their book has been entered onto the database, and I'm sure most authors have more to do than check it every day on the off-chance that this has happened. |

Copyright law is not "I do not want you to copy something". You care confusing "may not" with "can not". |

We're humans. We deal with human institutions.

The other institution I am referring to is the creators. In the beginning was the word. |

This law appeals to my sense of whimsy.
If you research the History of the Berne Convention, the people pushing it the hardest were the French. Now, they're stepping all over it. Gotta love it.... |
