- theonemind 10y agoAKA The Sonny Bono act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Bono https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Bono i never had any desire to leave some great legacy after my death, but I can't help but notice how I personally feel in regard to Sonny Bono because of this, and realize that I actually don't want to leave humanity worse off and get remembered for that. Quite possibly incorrectly, since I didn't track politics at all my young age in 1998, I can't shake my impression that Sonny Bono had no principles and sold us all out for his own personal gain.
- jccalhoun 10y agoThe Sonny Bono act gave Disney 20 more years. I am guessing that in the second half of 2017 we will see some grumblings of yet another extension of copyright (or at least some kind of reform where copyright can be renewed eternally).
