If "Today's forecast, showers, followed by rain. Tomorrow: rain, followed by showers" doesn't faze you, and/or you love the smell of rain, & you think people who use umbrellas are either wimps or people from California. Then you know you're from Oregon.
Or we could simplify by going to a 10 year term and a straight logarithmic scale.
10 years = $10^(number of previous extensions)
$1.00; $10.00; $100.00; $1,000.00; $10,000.00; $100,000.00; $1,000,000.00; $10,000,000.00; $100,000,000.00; $1,000,000,000.00; and so on...
Total for 100 years of copyright protection is $1,111,111,111.00
"perhaps a law granting them extensions on just their special copyright with an ever increasing fee for each successive extension ($10, $1000, $100,000...) would be more appropriate than extending the term on all copyrights just for the benefit of that one particular party"
Oh, I like this one! basic Copyright of 15 years with a logarithmic price increase for each 15 year extension based on the number of previous extensions. 1st 15 years = $(10^0)x(10^0) = $1 (or Free if you prefer)
2nd 15 years = $(10^1)x(10^1) = $100
3rd 15 years = $(10^2)x(10^2) = $10,000
4th 15 years = $(10^3)x(10^3) = $1,000,000
5th 15 years = $(10^4)x(10^4) = $100,000,000
6th 15 years = $(10^5)x(10^5) = $10,000,000,000
Somehow I don't think many would make it to the $10 billion mark...
Re: Re: The Architect, not the owners, hold the copyright monopoly here.
1. The photos are evidence of trespass.
2. The city of Clarksburg can press charges on their own without Vandalia's knowledge.
3. The CEO of Vandalia has worked with historic preservation on a Federal Level and knows what she is talking about.
4. She fairly gave Mr. Cahal a chance to present the paperwork that he may have in his possesion to show where he had permission to do this.
5. He is selling the pictures and is profiting from it, she also gave him an alternative to provide funds to the Waldo Hotel Historic Preservation Society to help with the preservation efforts.
6.If someone has commited a crime what has given them the right to profit from it?
1) Posibly, but that would have to be proven in court and has exactly ZERO bearing on the copyright of the pictures.
2) Yes, Yes they can. What does that have to do with anything?
3) {{Citation Needed}}
4) Ok, so? This would relate to the ALLEGED trespass, and again has no bearing on the copyright of the pictures.
5) Your point? They are his pictures, he can do as he pleases. The problem is that it is implied that he should be reqired to support the Waldo Hotel Historic Preservation Society and/or help with the preservation efforts. This is not the case.
6) Nobody has yet proven in a court of law that a crime has even been comited. Also I could be wrong and IANAL but I do not belive that something as minor as tresspass would set of the "Son of Sam" laws I suppose that there is a posibilty of asset forfeiture, however that would result in the ownership of the pictures going to the government NOT to the Waldo Hotel Historic Preservation Society.
I am going to stop now before my rant runs out of control...

Hell most of us would me happy if you knocked it back to 25 years. (Less would be better of course.) but even that would have us shouting "Huzzah!" and dancing in the streets!
