Mexico to Abolish the Public Domain?

Posted by chrisd on from the formerly-free-country dept.

Anonymous Mexican Coward writes "The mexican congress is considering a revision of the copyright law. Among other changes the law will extend the term of copyright from life-plus-70 to life-plus-100, and at the end of that term, the mexican government has the right to charge royalties for works in the "public domain." Go Mexico! Check it out"

    A really great movie... a little dark and twisted, but especially interesting since it was based on a true story. The guys who made this film (can't think of their names) also made The Big Lebowski, another great flick.

    Google's take on this. My favorite bit is the thing about fat female donkeys:

    I am a Erstanwender Slashdot called website here of this. My English is not, thus well thus I writes on my native German. I am surprised, why there are so many strange people, which communicate here. In my country we call these people fat female donkeys, which do not have life. What do you call it in your country? I would like to really know such things. Also is it applicable that the public is completely homosexual Slashdot? I am not homosexual, but I would like to be. So I can all day long have hot sex with users MitLinux. Linux gives me wood, believes that I, which it does. Sometimes I may creep under the sheets and the masturbate male Penguin nude for the sight. How erotisch! I think that I go now. I am pleased to read your answers. Have one superday!
