backUK musician: I want royalities for 75 years It is bizarre that the US doesn't watch what other countries are doing to extend intellectual property rights even as it is pushing ACTA to impose our laws on other countries seeking trade deals with the US. One such story link here is this whining by a musician who advocates extending the EU copyright on music from 50 to 75 years, so performers like himself could receive more royalites. He reasons, "I feel it is unfair that it should be finished." The US constitutional standard remains that IP "should promote ... the Useful Arts". Does extending the term do that?
