BizWeek column knocks copyright-term extension

“The protections afforded copyright owners have become ludicrous and go way beyond the original purpose of protecting reasonable revenue for the author. The so-called Sonny Bono Law passed by Congress in 1998 extends the lifetime of a corporate copyright up to 95 years or 70 years past an individual’s death.” – David H. Holtzman, a guest contributor to BusinessWeek, in Share the Knowledge, Expand the Wealth.
