The copyright system is pretty badly broken. Duke University's Center for the Study of the Public Domain shows a few of the cultural works that would have entered the Public Domain - allowing you to reproduce, remix, and share them - under the copyright law in it's 1978 version. That is, before copyright was extended from formerly 28 years after publication to last ridiculously long, namely for 70 years after the author's death. There is a whole treasure trove of culture, locked away and in many cases inaccessible.

The Law of the Internet

"Riskant ist es aber bereits auch, wenn man die rechtlichen Vorgaben, die das Aussehen des Impressums regeln, nicht beachtet. Und: Unwissenheit schützt nicht vor Strafe."
