- quickthrower2 7y agoThat'd be a good idea for an xkcd, similar to these https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1686:_Feel_Old https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1686:_Feel_Old https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1477:_Star_Wars https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1477:_Star_Wars

- snvzz 7y agoSure, just take notice that it's a seemingly appropriate response to an excessively optimistic post. What I was trying to express is: No, if we just "leave things be", a copyright extension will happen again.
