Not so - ireland is a signatory to international convention on the subject as well as being subject to EU directives, so it would take more than a whim. The 70 years relates to the period of copyright after the author dies, so for the author themselves it is a permanent right.
The suggestion of a flat rate "music tax" on broadband connections has been suggested more than once, something like the blank tape levy in canada(?).
Thanks to a precedent established in a 1998 lawsuit involving the Rio PMP300 player, MP3 players are deemed "computer peripherals" and are not subject to a royalty of this type in the U.S.
and none of which precludes the duration from being revised downwards, however unlikely that may be - it was revised upwards in the US, thanks in no small part to sonny bono acting to protect the interests of disney. specifically, mickey mouse.
Yes. To support other artists.Is the point that us artists have the people to thank for our work having any value to begin with? Should we be paying the public money?
I'm starting to lean that way myself, despite having laughed at vinyl snobbery a lot since I discovered thumped, and despite not owning a turntable. What have people's experiences of selling vinyl as opposed to selling CDs been? Is it easier/harder to sell?From here : http://www.wired.com/entertainment/music/commentary/listeningpost/2007/10/listeningpost_1029
This is how any band I'm in will release music from now on, budget permitting.
including mp3 coupons?
Large Mound did it that way. Now buy our vinyl people!
We have some teenage fans, and while I don't think many of them own an actual copy of our album I'd expect when they eventually get jobs they'll probably buy it. Not on vinyl though
Exactly - copyright is a temporary right granted by society (in the form of the government) to the creators of the works. It's not some absolute, inalienable, allah-given right.

The way this thread is unfolding, it seems the future market for physical copies of recorded music is going to be limited to oldsters and music nuts like you find on thumped.
How did you do the digital side of it? (remind me, I've forgotten).

The other thing is, that regardless of the moral crime at stake here, people are still going to do it, and there are plenty of positives from it blur the lines even further.
Pratice kind acts of randomness
Positives you say.
To all the "it's not stealing" people.
It fucking is.
