How long copyright terms make our culture disappear. Microsoft simply turned off access to all the ebooks it sold with DRM. Amazon deleted copies of George Orwell’s “1984” from people’s Kindles. The new North American trade agreement extended Canadian copyright terms by 20 years. It’s unlikely that US copyright terms will be extended again.
