Never Forever: Why Extending the Term of Protection for Sound Recordings is a Bad Idea

Abstract

This article critically examines the arguments put forward in favour of a term extension of related rights of phonogram producers. The authors conclude that there are no convincing reasons to extend the existing term of protection. The article also explains why the popular argument that a term extension would improve the situation of performers is probably a fallacy.
