It would perhaps have been wiser to shorten the copyright period from 50 to 30 years instead of extending it. However, the problem with for instance file sharing is that it will not be reduced even if the copyright expired at the death of the initial copyright holder (if we are talking about music for instance).

Yeesh. They might as well move north, because it’s obvious their government doesn’t care jack shit about their rights.
