Wish we could do this for extending Copyrights so that Disney gets their Golden Ticket for Mickey Mouse and everything else gets to be Public Domain.
Make it cost $20,000,000 to file the motion, a million to every Senator's campaign fund and $25,000 for every Representative and $2,000,000 for the Chairman of every committee.
That way it is just upfront who wins a special copyright extension and everyone else get's Anne Frank's Diary, the rest of Sherlock Holmes and the Autobiography of Malcolm X.
- herge 11y agoWhat does patent law have to do with Mickey Mouse?
- eloff 11y agoWhy is this downvoted? Copyright and patents are two completely separate things.
- baldfat 11y agoYes that is 100% why I said I wish this could be done for COPYRIGHTS. Guess this is the new Hacker News read a portion and then down vote. (This will get down voted by at least two people. If there was no Disney there would be now Copyright Extensions where we have No Public Domain works entering the US system for the last 30 years. http://artlawjournal.com/mickey-mouse-keeps-changing-copyright-law/ http://artlawjournal.com/mickey-mouse-keeps-changing-copyrig...
