@alcinnz @kevinrns well I think #creators must be able to #profit from their work, like #Franquin could sell his #commicbooks#SpirouEtFantasio#GastonLagaffe . If there aint no #copyrightlaw anyone could copy his #creation, and he couldnt make or would have made less money from it.
But like #patentlaw, #copyright must expire sometime, and not like #disney's #MickeyMouse who's been protected from being copied for #waltdisney's entire lifetime and 70 afterwards …
@alcinnz @kevinrns (2/2) #patents expire at like 10 years and are ment for #inventions, while #copyright is ment for #thoughts and #ideas and can be eazier to profit from than inventions , cause you dont need to persuade buyers of your invention's effectiveness, your thoughts just need to be appealing. So, im arguing for a #copyrightexpirationdate set at maximum 25 years
