I have used BitTorrent once about 6 or 7 years ago to download a bunch of Open Office freeware.

Other than that I never had use for it.

I have always thought that people have a right to the profits from their efforts so I pay for what entertainment I consume.

On the other hand I believe that copyrights were never intended to extend to succeeding generation unlimited in scope.

It is now law that copyrights can be extend and extended. I certainly don’t believe that copyrights should be protected and royalties collected indefinitely.

Should the decedents of Shakespeare be collecting royalties on Richard the III?

Gone With the Wind was released in 1939, Warner Brothers is still generating profits from the movie. That is 73 years. I think it is high time that the movie is in the public domain. 70 years is more than enough time to generate profits from an artistic work. Copyrights were never intended to last this long by the founders.
