Cancer Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Aye, and we'll be here until the oceans boil away, the whole surface of the planet goes volcanic, and sedimentary rocks are cooked away, dissolving all evidence that life ever existed here. So we have a few more weeks. Old Man and Cygnia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I know they made the decision to retire from touring last year. I'm hoping Neil still writes more travel books at least. But yeah, I credit Rush with saving my life when I was in high school, so it's still bittersweet. Starlord and Pariah 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'll pass on using techno-toys if Nature has spent hundreds of millennia adapting something to do the same job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, copyright has its place, but even 75 years is a joke today. I'm a big Dorothy Sayers fan...but only 2 of her Peter Wimsey books are public domain, as they come from the 20s and 30s. Where ya get crucified quite often is actually when the artist dies...because the estate lawyers and beneficiaries almost always go for max revenues. Perhaps not against explicit wishes that the deceased's works go into the public domain, but barring that...they have no reason to budge. Remember the Traveling Wilburys? 2 collaboration albums. George Harrison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison...these should need no intro. 3 can reasonably be asserted to belong on a Mount Rushmore of rock n' roll; I don't quite put Petty at that level, but he wasn't far from it! And Jeff Lynne of ELO, a great performer and one of the great album producers. Orbison died, IIRC soon after the 2nd album was released...and his estate basically forced the albums off the air by contesting the royalties, IIRC. David Eddings' stuff has been almost impossible to find as e-books after he died; I gotta think it's the estate again. There's no impetus to change things, and well, given everything else, there's no real chance this'll ever come up for reconsideration. Even if it does, who's gonna argue the consumers' side? Google probably would, and there probably would be others, but the writers/creators? The supporters of this will probably make their stuff public when they can, so overall...nope. The publishers? HA! They'll never release control 1 second before they have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
