ukit, are you retarded? It's about justice! That's what the copyright laws are based on, fairness and justice.
It's not right to take from Mr. Peters or Mr. Farrows hard work and creativity while they're still living. This is why copyright laws extend to the duration of someone's life, and often beyond it. So the originator can fairly profit from and protect his work.
This isn't some abstract argument. People's livelihoods get hurt by this sort of shit. Our lives are affected.
Design from 100 years ago? It doesn't really hurt anyone. The creators are long gone. This is the idea of a copyright entering the public domain.
Seriously ukit, the fact that you're even challenging these facts of life announce that you have no business being in a creative industry. gtfo.
