Yes, and we know why the sound recording was extended to 70 years: The Beatles. They were about to lose protection, and they're still alive, two of them, and they wanted to have a 20-year term extension. I can see that this is being played out. They extended the term in the U.S. because of Mickey Mouse. Europe was happy to do so too because of other authors and so on.
Yes, of course people use these rules. It's part of life. It's also normal for a work to have a life, a commercial life, when it's in the public domain. I think that is something we have to accept. It makes a lot of sense. Seventy years? I'm not crazy about 70 years, but for the time we're in now, there's no point in getting the wheel back. It doesn't make any difference, and that 20-year extension will apply to a limited number of works in terms of everything that's being created. We're raising a lot of fuss about a small percentage of works. Yes, there are works that have value, but overall, in terms of policy, this is not going to impact a lot of people.
