Z 50 do 95 lat
February 15th, 2008, Tomasz Rychlicki“I strongly believe that copyright protection for Europe’s performers represents a moral right to control the use of their work and earn a living from their performances. I have not seen a convincing reason why a composer of music should benefit from a term of copyright which extends to the composer’s life and 70 years beyond, while the performer should only enjoy 50 years, often not even covering his lifetime It is the performer who gives life to the composition and while most of us have no idea who wrote our favourite song – we can usually name the performer.”

No negative impact on consumer prices
The Commissioner stressed that the proposal should not have a negative impact on consumer prices. “Empirical studies on the price effects of copyright protection show that the price of sound recordings that are out of copyright is not necessarily lower than that of sound recordings in copyright.
No negative impact on Europe’s external trade balance
The Commission has also looked at the trade implications of a longer term of protection and provisionally concludes that most of the additional revenue collected in an extended term would stay in Europe and benefit European performers. This is good for promoting Europe’s performers and the cultural vibrancy of European sound recordings.
Charlie, czy to są wszystkie negatywne wpływy jakie byłeś w stanie wziąść pod uwagę?
