Suck it, record companies

Turns out that a bunch of record companies song licenses are about to expire. While Congress has extended copyright to 1000 years (plus life of the author), the massive copyright extension of 1978 said that licenses would reboot in 2013.

This means that bands will be able to break free from their record contracts, and regain control over the rights to their music. The Eagles will be able to sell their own songs and take all the money.

Time to invest in new talent, record labels. Or just give up and die. Please.
