Off topic: I don't really know the details, but as far as I remember copyright expiration comes after 28 years (unless renewed) for intangible form of expression.
I stand corrected. I agree with your interpretation for the rule of thumb. However, correct legal perspective is given in example in the article - courts normally differ. PS: That doesn't mean people should go on keep using the mp3's from file sharing programs like Morpheus or chat ocx from msn clones like Buzzen: In worst case scenario court can use last infringement date.
Coming back to the original topic a lawyer once said to me that a copyrighted can get into public domain if statute of limitation passes. I can't find any clear ref. for or against it... I found one but it is not clear cut:
If anyone has an online law article on this with clear details, then link it please.
One more thing, don't ruin a perfectly good discussion with personal attacks. Purpose if this thread is to gain more knowledge surrounding copyright issues, I used msn chat control to make it more interesting, but that doesn't ok personal attacks to anyone. So please refrain from using personal comments.
Sounds to me buzzen is still trying to make there wrong in using the oxc file right! Wish they would get a life and make there own. That way they woulld have 2 feet to stand on and MSN could not knock them down. LOL rock on with www.VSIXC.com they are standing on there own 2 feet! and they rock!
,but yeah i do accept onething VSIXc is the best compared to other chatnetworks
