'That's All Right' Soon To Enter UK Public Domain
jwlidtnet writes "Reuters is reporting that Elvis's "That's All Right"--currently an unlikely hit in Great Britain--is soon to enter the public domain in that country, followed by other milestones of popular music as Britain's fifty-year protection period comes to an end. Naturally, rights owners are outraged, regarding it as a "wakeup call" for Britain to adopt something similar to the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act, to end this "discrepancy between the United States and the EU." Copyright law uniformity has of course been a sore issue in recent years, with the exportation of "DMCA-alike" legislation raising the ire of many. Uniformity on an issue this divisive might be difficult to achieve politically."
I think it would be wise to remember that even the Americans are pissed about what the Americans are doing. I have never seen in my life an administration more hated then the bush administration. The only people that support bush are the insanely wealthy that he's handing cash to left and right, and ignorant fucks who he's convinced he's a christian. Unfourtantely, theres alot of ignorant fucks around here.

Anglia is in England. But it takes its name after a German tribe. Anglo-Saxons were groups of Germanic invaders in the early middle ages. Tribes such as the Anglos, Saxons, and Jutes invaded Romano-Celtic England.
