Corporate Theft
This doesn't benefit any creator or artist. Only already rich Corporations.
Even the UK extension to Life + 70 is wrong. It should be Life + 25 (so as to leave something to the creators children).
It should not be more than 25 years from initial publishing if no individual or band is getting royalty. Corporations receiving ALL the royalties should be limited to a Generation.
Also anything copyright should actually be published, available at a reasonable price. It should enter public domain if work is unavailable to purchase at a reasonable price for 5 years.
USA Radio already doesn't pay full royalties. There are creator rights AND performance rights. What Spotify pays is too little, but YouTube is even worse. Google and Pinterest are copyright parasites.
Copyright is important so that creators and performers get paid. Also so companies make a return on their investment. But this is just pure corporate greed.
