    i’m a believer that we should just consider the works forfeited to the public domain and let the author’s name be forgotten to time, let the future think of it as we think about german fairytales.

      we should bring back old copyright limits of 14 years. or probably less, like 5 years.

      then it wouldn’t matter at all what an author says.

      Kudos for Tom Lether for putting all his songs into the public domain so it doesn’t get bounced around for 70 years after his death.
