Hello The Godfather!

[...] I remember cancelling my Apple Music subscription
and losing saved music. I felt a bit cheated after
several months of membership fees; despite knowing I
signed up for that.

The Spotify desktop app used to allow selecting the text of a
current playlist.

Eg. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/ 1NnSmPEdaQqXT2a8yk1Pln?si=6I9z0ROYRImqWhIACj7Llw

Now I am not sure if anyone/non-members can even sample the
30sec clips anymore.

And.. then pasting it to produce something like this [after a
little bit of artistic license here]:

I created the above by taking multiple screenshots of what the
Spotify display listed, pasting the images vertically to
produce one long list, and then feeding to an img-to-text
scanner.

It would be very nice indeed to save such lists to review,
reminisce, or share.

Not as good as the physical media, however super nice to have a backup of ones playlist .. list .. in case they had to change platforms for sure.

I agree - I mentioned my DVD purchasing... I did move away from that media; sold all my DVDS, but I ripped then into high quality media files. I don't mind the non-physical, but its the cloud/streaming that I'm against. I want to own the data else I own nothing... and, owning hard media is still cool for the in-box STUFF.

I hate leasing content. Movies are much different than music where there is more gatekeeping for the video stuff.

Same here. I still keep my DVDs and BRays in a box in my attic and occasionally I still buy some as collectives (very rare comparing to the past as I don't even have the place to store them).. but all is digitalized these days. I have Netflix for the sake of animated movies my kid watches passionately, but for myself I rather rip and store on NAS.

Sam with music... a countless number of CDs in the attic but my living room has only vinyls exposed for a slow life orientated music listening sessions.

All the rest to become a fancy noise when I work or drive are 320kB MP3 and VOX to play them across my audio devices directly or via BT.

... Xerox Alto was the thing. Anything after we use is just a mere copy.

Hello Adept!

There are many examples of cases where a work gains attention
or a resurgence many years later. So.. to assume the initial 5
yrs is when "most of the money is made" is not necessarily
true.

It is absolutely true in the way I meant it, which is that,
for the total value produced by copyrighted works, "most of
the money made from copyrighted things by the original
makers would still be made" with a copyright of 5 years.

One example of what I speak.. Wonkey Donkey - was out of print
for many years, until there was a video of a grandma reading
the book to a kid. The publisher re-released the book and made
a much bigger killing than originally.

This is likely to be true, because it has been reliably
true in the past, and there's no reason to think it'll
change.

It's probably an expectation, but not necessarily always true.
It really depends on marketing.

Obviously, the estate of William Shakespeare would be
making a killing, if copyright were forever, even if most
of the rest of writing from that era would likely never be
worth re-publishing or writing derivative works from.

I'm not talking about pothumus works.

It doesn't have to be always true for the average to be true.
