Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_Term_Extension_Act Over the past century Copyright has been strengthened and protected to ever higher levels. There is no status quo here, it's all one sided and they dare say this when we tug back a little?
