Thanks for the link. I get lost in the legalese but found a easy explanation somewhere: http://intellectualpropertyblog.fieldfisher.com/2015/section-52-cdpa-tr

Thanks for the link. I get lost in the legalese but found a easy explanation somewhere: http://intellectualpropertyblog.fieldfisher.com/2015/section-52-cdpa-transitional-arrangements-on-hold-while-government-consults http://intellectualpropertyblog.fieldfisher.com/2015/section... I find interested and sensible this distinction (even if I think 25 years is too much): "When more than 50 copies have been made of such an artistic work, the period of copyright protection is limited to 25 years after the work is first marketed, in comparison to other artistic works which are protected for the life of the author plus 70 years. In practical terms, this means, for example, that furniture manufacturers and importers could start manufacturing and importing furniture that qualified as industrially-manufactured artistic works once the initial 25 year copyright protection had expired." The fact that this rational exception is going to be eliminated in order to harmonize with EU law just push the issue of 'who' to Brussels. It seems that there is a great tradition of harmonizing copyright always to the most draconian terms.
