re: #53 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

“Death plus 70 years” has turned me into a complete scofflaw. And it will keep being extended—because of Disney. Let’s just pass a constitutional amendment that Mickey Mouse will never enter public domain and maybe they’d withdraw their lobbyists.

I’d rather just establish a separate category for characters and properties of major commercial value. Require some type of hearing to get the designation and then the relevant company has to pay a tax for its privilege of owning its copyright indefinitely.

And yes, I just proposed a new tax. Grover Norquist thinks I’m a bad boy.
