    100 year copyright is fucking ridiculous, but I still think copyright has its place. The enemy of my enemy is a useful ally?

      A study years ago found that the ideal time for copyrights to recover the investment and all that was something like 14 years or something like that (don’t recall exactly), can you imagine if anything older than like 20 years automatically fell into the Public Domain? The kind of wild crazy awesome shit that would be out there?
