Copyright Changes

[Catdaddy]

Just heard on the news that the mechanical copyright on recordings has been extended from 50 years from the new year after the date of release to 95 years.

Two things -

1. Might be of interest to those wishing to put slideshows together (there was a thread not so long ago about this)

2. I don't think there is, but I'm not sure as yet if there is any change to intellectual property (which affects photographers)

EDIT - Posted in the wrong forum - can a mod move it for me?

Yeah but you have a greasy spoon and dropped your egg, so ner

No worries Chris


Re the post, I wonder if this will have an effect on photographers at all?

Hmm!!

I thought it said they had NOT extended the copyright

 

[Catdaddy]

Ah - I thought they said that they had!

Sir Cliff is only bothered because he is 170 years old

Wow a very rare thing on TPF. A thread that discusses nothing ;p
