This has been a very long time coming though; so how many record deals made since this Act was passed will have ignored the end of a revenue stream 35 years from when the recording is made, and gone in at what will now be a loss? Clearly, accountants in the music biz will have been factoring/warning about this for ages. A timebomb? I really don't think so. Totally aside, I really don't see the logic in saying that digital remasters are new works and warrant individual copyright protection. I don't know much about the process, but I assume that it's merely a transformation/reprint of an original recording, no?
