      1886

      Yeah, a bit out of date, huh?

      Can’t we do a new Berne Convention?

        No complaints from me. A lot of people here are saying abolish copyright entirely, which I think goes too far. I liked the original U.S. model, which was 19 years with an option to renew for another 19. That enables things like authors being able to profit from their book sales without worrying about a rival publishing company publishing their book at the same time but also gives a realistic time frame for that to be profitable.
