I agree, but the internet archive doesn't have the authority to roll the duration back right? So it was illegal. We all agree the law needs to change, but it is still the law currently.
Well the average career is 30 years. So you think that if I was to start a photography business that at the end of my 30 year run, half of my career should be publicly available? That means that people could use half of my life’s work without owing me any compensation? Copyright protects a lot of small creators, not just Disney and the likes.
The problem is that copyright last way to fucking long and they keep extending it. It should be the same as patents… 15 years I think.
