That was excellent. Copyright law was never intended to be a cash grab for powerful corporations who actually subvert the original intention -- the protection of artists, writers and composers. Imagine a world where even now 'Swan Lake' was still under copyright, that's our world!
Amazing how the same people who are shocked are drug company can have patent, for a meagre two decades or so, over a medicine it took them billions to produce, think nothing of handing more than a century of control (75 years after the death of the composer) to works of art.
Outrageous, it goes against the values Anglo-Saxon civilisation used to hold dear.
