- epo 15y agoSampling is blatantly non-creative, "parody" is simply a weasely justification for riding on the coat tails of someone else's accomplishment, "creative interpretation" ditto.
- _delirium 15y agoNot a big fan of jazz, I take it? (It'd be interesting there if the extension were not to 70 years, but to 170 years; much of the music industry's jazz catalogue would retroactively be plagiarism, because it frequently quotes from out of copyright jazz standards, and even older folk songs.)
- masklinn 15y agoCopyright extensions are not retroactive, fwiw. Once a copyright has lapsed, it's gone forever.
