+45 years "does nothing for creativity"

Follow-up to my post on the proposed extension to copyright in recorded music:

In an open letter to The Times, 17 copyright experts pointed out that the extension "does nothing for creativity or innovation". Furthermore, they warn that the proposal risks further alienating a "generation that, justifiably, fails to see a principled basis."

True dat!

They also point out that the real winners from extensions like these are not the humble session musicians, but "record companies, ageing rock stars or, increasingly, artists’ estates".

Testify!
