That's the first time I hear such a thing and it sounds very strange to me. Are you just referring to France? Or maybe UK, too? There are over 40 countries in Europe, and most of them have a lot more relaxed copyright laws than USA.
- tzs 15y agoI'm referring to all significant countries in Europe, since they all have the same copyright term, as part of implementing the appropriate EU directives on this matter. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_2006/116/EC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_2006/116/EC One of the main arguments for the Copyright Term Extension Act in the US was to better align US copyright law with that.
