It's a debate that has been going on for ages as "Rock veterans win copyright fight". Following on from how books work, artists can now retain the copyright of their work for seventy years instead of fifty years.
Though it'll be bad news for those cashing in on selling cheap CDs of old songs, it's good news for the artists who'll still get support in their old age.
This copyright issue has always confused me. Surely, if you've done all that work on a song even fifty years ago you, and those who contributed to it, should get rewarded for it?
And anything to stop Crazy Frog coming out of copyright in 45 years and appearing on every CD around.
