Elephant Magazine - Copyright as Medium
Issue 30 of Elephant Magazine was released in early March and, in a similar vein to issue 27, focuses on copyright:
The first copyright law, made in the eighteenth century, granted artists the exclusive right to control the copying of their original creations for 14 years. Too brief a period? Perhaps, but by the beginning of the twenty-first century, copyright’s term had grown to cover the life of the artist plus 70 years – which means that Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avigon will remain protected until 2043, 136 years after it was completed. Too long, surely?
