A queston for the news people... why wasn't this bit broadcast as news.... or are the TPP bandits, keeping it hidden ?

This a private members bill to extend copyright to 70 years after the author's death.
I wrote material in the 1980's and to see that extended for 70 years in copyright is absurd.
Extending it to 70 years destroys the useage and puts a financial penalty on your grand children.
Innovation is being retarded because software holds the same copyright length. Most software is math formulae, and why should it be allowed to last 70 years past the author's death... the technology would be very obsolete. I think 10 years for copyright is enough on software etc.
The greedy and stupid should not be allowed to destroy the future !
