Head of the US copyright office says copyright is too long February 21, 2006
BoingBoing tells us that
“The head of the US copyright office has accused Congress of making a mistake by extending the length of copyright in America, calling the term “too long,” and saying that Congress made a “big mistake.”
It’s about time! The ability to exercise our fair use rights is evaporating at an alarming pace by increasingly restrictive DRM measures. A shorter copyright term would be a (small) step in the direction of restoring the balance.
