I think that is a bit of an overstatement, but it is a point well made.
Copyrights have been extended to great lengths and retroactive extensions have been passed, so they expire at a very slow rate which is not at all fixed.
- jcl 17y agoI'm not sure if you are saying that copyrights have been expiring, or if you mean that copyrights aren't expiring now but will eventually. If the former, you have my curiosity... Could you describe a case in which a copyright's term could have expired in the past decade? As I understand it, the Sonny Bono Copyright Act extended all copyright terms by twenty years, and that was eleven years ago.
