Re: Copyright extensions need to stop

"So Disney can't copyright the latest Star Wars film?"

To me, that is exactly the idea: Corporations are not creating anything, ever.

They are paying someone, a person or group of persons, to create. Totally different.

Also: Corporation doesn't die so the copyright in essence is eternal, which is specifially forbidden in constitution.

Tell us: When does the copyright given to Disney end? 70 years from the death of Disney corporation?

Basically same thing as never.
