More term extension wrangles
The copyright term extension debate is getting even murkier. The BBC reports:
- The Featured Artists Coalition, a new pressure group with members including a number of prominent musicians has said that the current 95 year proposal will be bad for performers and fans. They back a term extension, but call for the copyright to revert to the artist after 50 years
- The UK voted against the European Commission's 95 year proposal on Friday in Brussels. The UK wants to see the extension limited to 70 years.
