Yeah like some 95 or so years even after the artist died. That’s 95 years of profiting for greedy executives off of the death of musicians after they’re gone.

Didn’t they lobby government to extend copyright to ridiculous lengths, thereby denying the US public a robust body of public-domain works?
Where the fuck are our rights?

More egregiously, corporations can and routinely do hire artists to make works, fire them, and keep ownership and profits for around a literal century beyond that.

And they won’t stop there either. You bet your ass it’ll be extended again once more corporations start hitting those public domain limitations on works they care about.

Well you have the right to remain silent. So there’s that.
Beyond that though I’m not really sure. I thought it was fairly clear in the US for a persons rights, but you guys are all over the place these days.n3m37h@lemmy.world 1 year ago

The fuck is your problem? I’m saying only the rich have rights
loulis@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You should have opened with that.

The only way we are getting them back is when we hold the rich and government hostage like they do with us. When their heads start rolling they might think twice about fucking with our rights.

Unfortunately, that’s just what we’re down to for options. We’ve tried reasoning with them, we got laughed at. We tried negotiating with them, we got cold shouldered and hard balled. We tried proposing more reasonable and logical systems, they just tripled down on their bullshit.
So yeah I’m up for seeing some pricks from the entertainment industry strung off and beheaded at this point.
