Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Re: audio clip
It's a podcast. The idea is that you're supposed to listen to it... We really don't have the resources or capabilities to create a transcript. Sorry.

Copyright Reform
It's no longer a limited period of time when it extends beyond the lifespan of 100% of the population.
So...you can have your life of the author + 70 years (I think it should really *NEVER* exceed 70 years) but the copyright will be issued in 14-year increments which are not automatically renewed.
