I have to side with Gideon on this one. Copyright was never designed to provide an artist/studio with a perpetual license. The only reason copyright laws are as bad as they are now is because the studios/labels lobbied Congress to ensure they can still make money long after the original artist has passed on. Should an artist be able to pass along its royalties after their death? No because my copyright holders are the studios and labels to begin with.

Think for a moment. If an artist was not able to make enough money off of their work created 50 years ago, what is the sense of still granting a copyright? Look at modern day films and the god awful number of remakes and this is the reason copyright is bad. If copyright was enforced like our founding fathers intended, many of the movie studios would actually create more art instead of throwing shit together and trying to cash in.

It would make sense why the adult industry would argue against a lower number of copyright protection. In 14 years under the founding fathers vision, there would be no reason for the purchase of new porn because with the amount of porn out there now, you could watch porn every second for the remainder of your life and still not be able to watch everything ever produced.

The same people arguing for perpetual license will be the same ones that will bitch when the recording industry manages to charge for every time you listen to a song or every time you watch a video.

The sadder fact is all the fucking hypocrisy on this forum about tube sites and piracy when many of the videos linked here are in fact copyright infringement in itself. Or after the latest UFC someone asks for a link to watch/download it. Or like the BBC documentary link that was posted here a couple months ago for the American folks to watch it because it only aired in the UK on BBC. It just seems funny that copyrights only matter to individuals when its an infringement that hurts them.

Fact is 99% of those on this board bitching about piracy have downloaded something illegally before be it a song or a movie. Fuck, some even jerk off on the tubes to pirated material and you are just as guilty of infringement for viewing something you do not have a granted license to consume.
