The Dead Poets Society- Copyright term and public domain

No right is absolute i.e. every right is subject to some condition. Similarly copyright is also not
an absolute right and this right is also confined to statute and given for only a limited term.
This paper evaluates the litigation in terms of policy debate in a number of discourses history,
intellectual property law, constitutional law and freedom of speech, cultural heritage, economics
and competition policy, etc. The very basic question which this paper raises is that to what extent
copyright term is to be there and whether too much extension of this right would not affect the
rights of the budding authors. Further, it also deals with how a balance is to be maintained
between the already existing right of the author and rights of the author who are still to come.
Further, U.S Supreme Court challenge on the Constitutional Challenge to the Sonny Bono
Copyright Term Extension Act 1998 (U.S.) and finally the concluding terms.
