[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;39214506]that's got no legal basis sadly though[/QUOTE] And what happened to [I]"Innocent until proven guilty"[/I]?. That's exactly why abandomware has been considered a grey area, although legal. Otherwise a fair lot of companies & rich individuals would've been raided for questionable business practices.
go back to like 25 years or whatever it was before disney decided to lobby for extensions
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;39208250] The Beatles first single, "Love Me Do," has entered the [B]pubic[/B] domain in Europe [/QUOTE] Awwww yeah
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;39208528]yea fuck those people who work hard to make music[/QUOTE] The point of copyright is to enrich the PUBLIC domain. This is why the laws of the land protect copyright. The country you live in has no obligation to protect your works(if you're the creator). So why does the public do it, protect your works? So that those works will be added to the public domain and enable others to use those works to create new works. This enhances the culture for all. Somehow, people have got this crazy idea that the purpose of copyright is to protect the profits of individuals and corporations.
Now this will be playing on every advert in Europe.

I wish you could just take all your intellectual property to the grave. I'm uncomfortable with the thought of other humans using stuff I've written when I'm dead.

Why not release it so people can use it, mix it, sample it or whatever however they like
All these years Paul has spent being really strict with the rights will now turn round and bite him as millions of compilations CD's go into production just to make use of a song they couldn't before.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;39218859]"hehe fuck the world am i rite guys" hey guess what, you learned to write from public domain stuff[/QUOTE] I'm a little confused by this response. do you think public domain means commercially released?
Public domain means free, unrestricted access to copy, reuse, edit, reprint and spread the material in any fashion you want.
[QUOTE=Teddybeer;39218512]Well you do have artist preforming the songs years later...[/QUOTE] i forgot that being in the public domain prevented an artist from performing a song he created
