Seems we have another copyright extension on our hands:

I bet no more than two senators know what this means. S-s-o buy some non-free software to play your music, kid. Back in my day our music players were free. Wait, what are you talking about anyways? You kids are all on the iPhones and they're not free. I think we're done here, thanks for stopping by!
William Ramirez
*weren't free

Jesus Christ wasn't 95 years long enough for these fuckers? There aren't even that many giant corporations that are that old.
Andrew Parker
Never underestimate the greed of media jews.
Henry Robinson
I bet it's because they saw what meddling with videogame reboots does to your sales.
Julian Adams
Oh please. There is no point in protecting it after the creator dies let alone 100 years after.
Christian Perry
At least Libbie is basically already in the Public Domain.
Julian Williams
But user, how will creators and publishers survive if copyrights expire? It's not like they can make new content.
Joshua Foster
The worst part is if this gets through, it may very well convince Disney to pursue another full-on copyright extension.
Noah Mitchell
They can just do what a certain group of Jews are doing with Edgar Rice Burrough's books: Use trademarks to keep people from using a particular thing that lapsed into the Public Doman. Go on, try using Tarzan or anything from the Barsoom books in something new without their OK.
So now shit in the Public Domain isn't even safe to use the way things are now, and that is ridiculous.
Gavin Baker
Any of the first five Barsoom books*
One recent example of what I'm talking about happened with Dynamite comics having to sign a contract to use PUBLIC DOMAIN characters in their comics:
Luis Mitchell
They FSF should just say 'freedom respecting' for clarity's sake.
Zachary Williams
I could see a year extension after the creator dies just to get things in order. But three fourths our a century is just insane.
Julian Adams
What we are going to end up with is a system where copyright works like trademarks. They last forever as long as you're using them in some way. And it's going to be terrible.

This whole thing is going to snowball to the point where a few companies are basically the gatekeepers for all memes and culture.

jews disagree
Jayden Long
Daily reminder that for the last half century, the copyright terms have grown on average FASTER than time flows. This means ©'d works are getting FARTHER from expiry rather than closer to it.
This is basically already the case.
Nicholas Rivera
Theoretically, next year will be the first year anything new comes into the public domain since the last big extension. We'll see.
Anthony Rogers
This is so sad can we kill intellectual property
Adrian Lewis
preferably together with the jews behind it
Josiah Gomez
LOL like hell they'll let it happen. Expect a huge term extension bill in the next few months.
Daniel Bailey
If they try we have to at least try to generate some kind of outcry. They already have musicians shilling this on (((social media))), but I bet independent comic publishers and writers would fall on our side of this.
Those guys still draw quite a lot from stuff that has gone into the public domain.
Easton Howard
...meanwhile in Japan, independent mangaka openly publish works based on newest hit titles, sell them on convents and nobody cares as long as it's low-volume and doesn't falsely claim to be original. Original first-party works somehow do not suffer from that (who'd have thunk it?) while fan works scene flourishes.
All while in the West fan works are between dead and sued to oblivion.
Yet another reason to hate jews to your collection.
Asher Morales
WTFPL?
Sebastian Wilson
That would be impressive if nips had a shred of originality in them.
Silly goyim
Jaxson Clark
That's not impressive, that's just normal.

So how long do places like Internet Archive, Gutenberg, and LibriVox have before they have to close down on threat of lawsuit?

I don't respect copyrights anyways. Common Zig Forums!

FSF is as Red as Hollywood, so "freedom" means different things.
Instead, go for the national security argument of Open Source.
Owen Morales
Was Mickey Mouse about to go PD already?
Just mirror everything you're interested in, just to be sure. You never know with those fuckers.
John Price
It is.
Owen Martin
If Trump gets another term, the first cartoon MM appeared in will go into the PD around the time he's about to leave office.

How exactly is it you think the GPL works, user?
Lincoln Sanders
CC0. It's a tad more suitfag friendly.
Aaron Fisher
For fuck's sake, no amount of goyim blood will make you live long enough to even spend all those shekels. What is wrong with these people?
Nolan Kelly
But user, think of how we'll be able to unproductively leech off dead people's work forevergive the Classics™ a second life! Now that's chutzpahprogress!
Cameron Butler
only if you're very lucky. More likely, they'll last forever with no chance of ever going into public domain, unless someone digs up the rights buried somewhere, and explicitly does so.
Anyways, here are some links that americans legally aren't allowed to click. Enjoy!

Something has got to give with this shit. At some point even the normalfags are going to notice how restrictive things have gotten.
Carter Cooper
It has been mentioned, but in about six years Micky's first cartoon should go into the public domain, and Disney has already said they have no plans to lobby to extend copyright terms again. Likely, they intend to use trademarks to limit the use of the mouse from there.
So basically, you'll be able to share the cartoon, but really do anything with it.
Andrew Gomez
not really be able to do any thing with it*
Justin Lewis
Ultimately whatever is in public domain is there so that you can make derivative works. They're using trademarks against the very purposes of copyright. It's a loophole that has to be closed.
Andrew Wood
Shame normalfags have already been conditioned to think this is how things are supposed to be.

Copyright ought to be violated on principle, regularly.

One of the earliest examples is “Herlock Sholmes”
