Italy Decides That Leonardo da Vinci’s 500 Year Old Works Are Not Public Domain
- bediger4000 4y agoThat's great! I'm sure that da Vinci's heirs (or successors in interest) will treat this economic incentive as such, and start creating a lot more content. We'll all be treated to many more "Monas", and more entries in the "Chapel" franchise! We can build better billing technology so that the so-called public domain isn't necessary. All content creators and their heirs or successors in interest can be incentivized correctly.
