| UK copyright held at 50 years. Requests by the entertainment industry to increase copyright from 50 to 70 years has been turned down.  Commonsense has prevailed for once but I feel sorry for the likes of Cliff Richard who will lose out.   More here http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=41217

| Re: UK copyright held at 50 years. If you haven't made your money from a piece of music after 10 years, you aren't EVER gonna make money from it  I don't listen to 60's & 70's music. I listen to occasional 80's & 90's music. Gotta get everyone when they are teenager .. that's generally the bulk of your audience, .. and then you have them for life. Who's cliff richards? (J/k). Copyright of any music piece should be held by the artists, not the recording studios. The artists should be coining money from leasing their music to recording studios/production lines. The copyright would then be null and void when the artist died.
