minus-squareRandoCalrandian@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoOriginal copyright was 7 years. It was publisher (and mostly Disney) greed that got it changed, against the will and interest of the people subject to penalties due to it. Every sale of copyrighted content after 7 years I now consider “theft” of the consumer and the public domain, enabled through government corruption. No one can convince me piracy is wrong while what publishers have done still affects us all.
