I do think new games should be protected even more so. I do believe that Mickey Mouse isn't public domain for about another 20 years or so. They got the gov. to extend the length of the copyright.

ROMs I believe are a toss up between right and wrong. I can still go out to the book store and buy a book that is 20 years old and find it and if I can't I can go the the library. I can go out and buy old as hell music and old movies. I can't go out and buy old NES carts.

Its a difficult situation for old games. But new games and software is pretty much unacceptable.

Since when was this 'public domain' concept still in practice? I was almost positive that they changed something about copyrighting laws so that material stays copyrighted forever (or can be renewed?).

I never read anything about it being good forever. I thought the just extended the copyrights another 20 years.
