The American companies want to further extend the copyright time restrictions, and some of them intend to make it indefinite. The reason sparked when Mickey Mouse was supposed to become public property, as the copyright interval was close to end, but Walt Disney was not happy at all with this. The copyright lobby intend to go as far as to ban book reproduction in public libraries, which in this moment could be legally done with 10 or 15 cents per page. Considering the electronic equipment available to any common guy in West, this is a war lost from start. The only way to cope with it would be to do not allow anybody to borrow books home - and to transform all public libraries in "Reference rooms"  |
