How copyright extension in sound recordings actually works

At 1:53 to be fair the people making the CD's, extracting the crude oil to make the plastic to make the CD and covers, the assembly maintainers, programmers (IE: recorders, adds the WMG or whatever label binary code to identify it as a WMG CD no matter what name you give the file extension), and custodians are covered in that 90%. However a good portion of that 90% still goes to overpaid executives.

These greedy dinosaurs have bled artists & public dry for long enough. They go after youtube because it has money, nobody is
making money from posting lo res vids, we do it because we love the music & want to pass it on,this draconian policing
of youtube is unworkable & pisses off a large proportion of people but of course these greedy bastards only care about one thing,MONEY, as somebody who lost
their channel,Account permanently disabled over this issue, I will actively
oppose any extension.

this is just grossly unjust , why should people be giving 4x to the record label who just sits on there ass doing nothing....just stupid and wrong....greedy mother fuckers should be in jail

Geez, even 50 years is much too long to hold a copyright for sound recordings.

As an example of how crazy this is, let's say there's a tradesman specializing in decorative iron work for homes. Why shouldn't he get paid every time the home gets sold within a 50 or 95-year period? After all, isn't every new owner of the home getting to benefit from his creation?

It's all INSANE.

well explained for everyone to understand. I will be showing this to all my non-IP-activist friends in order to spread some awareness.

In theory, copyright lasts only in certain about time. In practice, it can be extended almost infinitely. Something must be done about that.

I disagree with the ending, the public largely knows, and will be even surer if this passes, exactly who it is supposed to benefit. That's largely why we don't care about respecting copyright anymore.

I think that long before the 95 years, there will be no music companies anymore. Who needs them right now anyway? Production? Get a computer, your instrument(s), and the software.
Marketing? Any marketing company can do that. Reproduction? Who needs physical media? Just put them on your web site and add paypal. Finito.

And the average customer could not care less. He gets himself a file-sharing client, pulls the files, and is done with the case.

Charlie McCreevy has to go. The proposal of the Commission is a huge scandal!
