I don’t know about you, but here’s something that irks me to no end.

Just yesterday, I was watching some show about classical music bits (Mozart, Bach, etc) making their way into popular French variety tracks. Those 70s/80s artist tapped into the global musical pool to produce some more awesome songs. Just like Disney took strong inspiration in the Grimms Brother bibliography to produce classical pieces.

And then – fucking then – those players turn around and extend copyright protection to 70 years, in a modern world where everything goes faster than before. They do it to prevent others to build upon their work, knowing full well they have done it themselves. And they have the nerve to say piracy is dangerous for creation!

But hey, just like Einstein said, “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing”
