Copyright law did not start out like this nor was it ever fucking intended to work like it does today. It has been fucked around by corporations that wanted to keep making their billions. I can go sell DVDs of old movies that have fallen out of copyright TODAY but with these retarded ass laws stuff created in 2011 will be copyrighted in the USA until LONG after the original creator is dead and most likely after their kids are dead. This blocks the flow of information / art and it's not good for society.
Also, true artists have no intentions of locking their shit down for 100 years. True artists are looking to spread their work as far and wide as possible so that it can be appreciated. The people that want it locked down are businesses trying to make an extra buck even though they could use alternate monetization schemes and actually adapt to the world around them instead of dying a slow death while bitching the entire way.
Hope this helps.
