Comment on Coming Attractions: The Copyright Extension Act of 2018 by Carl Ratner

Christine, I think your admonition to create your own works should also apply to the distant descendants of authors of works created nearly a century ago. And despite the fact that huge corporations sweep in, you most certainly do get to use the original work for free. For instance the mega hit Phantom of the Opera did not keep Maury Yeston from writing his own version five years later which has received over 1000 productions. If you want to create a musical version of Phantom yourself, there is nothing stopping you. I will keep my fingers crossed that the US will not re-extend in 1918. I wish I knew what I could do to help that effort. Perhaps there will be some sort of push-back at that time.

Well….maybe everyone could get busy and create their own creative writings and drawings instead of stealing from the families of the people who did take the time.

When the copyright ends for a piece of work – a huge corporation will sweep in, take it, recreate it and then trademark it – and guess what general public – you still don’t get to use it for free.

Get busy, and add to the creative world instead of just sitting around and waiting.

Great blog!
I’m wondering: Do book lovers necessarily have to be book collectors?
I tried to get rid of my books and failed miserably

What do you think?

Love from Germany,
