Music Industry and Its Alleged Interest in Musicians' Rights
Music industry wants 95-year protection period for sound recordings and justifies this by saying that musicians should earn money from the rights to their music throughout their lives. Pretty cheeky, when it's precisely the music industry that makes the most money from these rights and musicians - if at all - only receive small contributions. The music industry doesn't care about musicians at all. They only care about increasing their own revenues without having to contribute even a bit of effort.
One can imagine what's behind this when you look at when the old songs were produced that the music industry still heavily relies on, because they are incapable of producing anything that goes beyond one-hit wonders. Because the copyrights for music from some bands from the 60s and 70s will expire in the foreseeable future - and then the gentlemen in the executive suites would actually have to take risks and support new bands to still have significant business in the future.
You can't live forever off the songs of the Beatles or the Stones ...
