jan 1, 1998 - Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act
Description:
1998
The story begins with a particular piece of copyright legislation in the United States.
The Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA) was enacted in 1998. It extended the term of copyright for every work in the United States-even those already published-for an additional 20 years, so the copyright term equaled the life of the creator plus 70 years.
