This item from the Digital-Copyright listserv has me scratching my head.
Copyright revision helps one-coin DVDs become hit with movie collectors
by Kanako Takhara; Japan Times; 4/17/2006
"It happens all the time: You run down to the video store to rent your
favorite movie classic, only to find someone else has beaten you to it.
But what if you could buy your very own DVD of the film for the same
price as renting it?"
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nb20060415a5.html
The article states that with the extension of copyright from 50 to 70 years,
titles on which copyright expired before December 31, 1953 fell into public
domain.
I have not heard this argument before.... At least not that I can
recall.....
