    rules for rights for music should be same like rules for latents. If you pay then your rights are protected, if not then no protection. And the max is only 25 years. It’s stupid, and only for profits for mafia like sony, that the rights are even 70 yeras after dead of artist.

    I am actually surprised Internet Archive has not had copyright problems in the past because I have ocasionally downloaded videos that are 1:1 contents from now dead/unseeded torrents.
