Copyright laws have always been a real bear
Ted Goia’s Substack newsletter is enlightening – with truly startling frequency – about things I probably should have known about already. From yesterday’s post: The most extreme case of music copyright comes from Elizabethan England. Here the Queen gave William … Continue reading
Rethinking is thinking.
