The Problem with Extending Copyright on Music
TorrentFreak: "Several studies have shown that an extension of copyright on sound recordings is a bad idea. It will lead to less competition and higher prices while only the record labels benefit from it. Next Tuesday, the Open Rights Group will be hosting a round-table event to discuss performance copyright extension in the EU."

As an artist I understand that copyright laws are tricky to negotiate the bad and the good, but I also understand the importance of them. Intellectual property and copyright protection is invaluable to artists, especially the struggling variety, but it is important to make sure that those laws are protecting the people they were designed to protect, the artist. They should not be protecting big corporations who profit off others art.
That being said, some corporations need to be protected too. So, again, it is a slippery slope to get down.
