It looks stupid to have these many years but for a moment sit on the other side of the table. You created something amazing by giving significant part of your life, would you prefer to get paid only for 3 years? I think 30 years is good time to release works into public domain. In India, it's 60 years.
- scotty79 4y agoIf it's really amazing you can sell it for huge money to someone who will milk it dry in 3 years. That's what happens in reality anyways.
- Matumio 4y agoNobody about to create their big work says: "Wait - if this going to be my lucky great success, then my grand-children won't be able profit from it! I'm not starting." And when business people talk about long-term investments they don't mean 90 years. The goal of having a copyright law is not to create fairness. It's to ensure there is enough of an incentive that works get created, while still maximizing the public use of it. I'm personally for 10 or 15 years, but even 30 years would be okay compared to the absurdity we got today. This is so clearly only about protecting the profits of those who have enough money and power to influence laws.
