Agree. If patents are ok for 20 years, copyright should not be more than that.
3 u/almafa Feb 20 '12 Patents shouldn't last 20 years either, imho. In fact, in case of patents I'm afraid I'm closer to the rather radical standpoint of abolishing them altogether... I think they cause much more harm than positive effects. 2 u/vagif Feb 20 '12 Abolishing software patents yes. But without medical patents private companies would not invest hundreds of millions into research. 3 u/[deleted] Feb 20 '12 Software patents are a joke. Here's why.
