  • In the event of copyright extension proposals becoming law in the UK it is highly unlikely that such legislation will be made retroactive, i.e. it will only apply to sound recordings published after the law is passed. Recordings currently out of copyright will remain in the public domain. Therefore all the figures being bandied about are fairly irrelevant.

  • @tonygkent That's not correct, the legislation tabled is clearly retroactive and aimed at keeping 60s back catalogues under major label's control

  • @psyjunta The principle of copyright is not the issue, but the length of term. 

  • Artist copy all the time, some even call this inspiration. we should be freely mixing and remixing eachothers work without any copyright problems. These rules are devastating for creativity.

  • booooooooooooring

  • soo can i go on limewire and download some songs for own use? is it only illegal if i sell it?

  • copyright is bu****shit.

    Also tolstoi hated copyright.

  • Excellent idea!! We all love it! Specially on youtube, where we spend money and the world does earn it!!! /Sarcasm

  • everyone go to my channel and watch my protest video called why copyrights suck because soon youtube will no longer be about what you want but what the law does join the fight

  • i didn't know they did that in europe, but i think they probably did that too here in the states. why would someone want to extend the copyright of a song or album infanatly??? i don't see the point of doing that. @.@
