#scotus skroowed the pooch on this case. They missed a golden opportunity to rule that the Berne Copyright Convention is incompatible with the US Constitition, and that, as directed by the #constitution , #copyright in the US is currently unconstitutional and should expire after 28 years.

#Copyright was intended to last for a limited time, not to provide a continuing income stream for creators, and certainly not for the #heirs and #estates.

@torrentfreak Copyright should go back to 14 years, with one 14-year renewal term. This would follow the letter and spirit of the #Constitution, as copyright was originally intended to be.

#copyright was never intended to be a continuing income stream for the creator, and certainly not for the #heirs and #estates.

The moon belongs to everyone, so says the 1927 hit musical composition, “The Best Things in Life are Free.” We agree!

In 1998, a cartoon mouse changed U.S. copyright law forever—and almost destroyed the public domain in the process. In the first episode of season two of my #podcast (and in celebration of Public Domain Day), I dive into the history of copyright protections in America and the battle between artists trying to create and corporations trying to restrict intellectual property.

Happy Belated Public Domain Day!

It is 1 January, or #PublicDomainDay – the annual milestone when certain creative works become part of the public domain.

Wikimedia volunteer @lukasmezger shares a few works that are now available and what this day means for the free knowledge movement.

https://w.wiki/6B2V

"I am excited to announce the Grand Re-Opening of the Public Domain. Starting in 2020, works from 1926 that had been frozen for 20 years have now entered the public domain, and this means that we are now legally able to republish, remix, and re-interpret these works in ways that have only been available to big corporations for the past century."

Wish I could say I timed finishing The Public Domain: enclosing the commons of the mind for today, but it was pure happy accident. Excellent history and discussion about the current out-of-whack copyright situation. #bookstodon #PublicDomain #publicdomainday
