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.

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.

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.
