Reply to comment by koberulz_24 in Tomorrow is Public Domain Day in the US. What newly in the public domain movie will you be watching in 2023? by cv5cv6

Im.not arguing against any copyright at all, but there's also not much argume t for thr current 95 year limit thst wouldn't hold just as much at 70 and thr current laws were pushed several times due to the interest of one specific studio and one specific property. It's pretty absurd.

For everything other than film, yes. But the expense of restoring film to look its best means it does actually benefit in a meaningful way. With a book, the words are the same regardless of how they're printed, and any complete copy of the book will give you enough to produce a perfect version no matter how crumpled or stained it might be.
