As to the second point, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are source code based. Perhaps you're thinking of ABIs (Application Binary Interfaces)? |

Is it really true? Other than differences in copyright terms, what is protected by copyright now that would not have been in 1966?

Combine with the greatly extended duration of copyright now and you have both a lot more stuff being copyrighted today and for significantly longer periods of time. Also, prior to 1976, copyright required you to renew it after 28 years to receive an additional 28 years of protection. But the reality was, not many people bothered to renew: The stats there are from William Patry's book, Moral Panics and the Copyright Wars. |
