Someday, I’m going to convince someone to pay me to teach a “how the f%*# did we get here” course on copyright law. I will die on the hill that the only way this stuff makes any sense is as a stacking series of historical fights. Tl;dr we’re still dealing with the fallout of player pianos.
LMAO I wish this wasn't true!
I hope it includes something on why a bunch of (probably Commonwealth, definitely UK) books printed in the…early 20th century ish?…have a big fat NOT FOR SALE IN THE UNITED STATES DON’T YOU DARE warning on the copyright page. I feel like I used to know why this was but have forgotten.
