'Funkytown' songwriter leads copyright fight against music industry

Local interest aside, this is something to watch: A 1976 amendment to the Copyright Act “gives song authors the right to re-claim ownership of the song’s copyright after 35 years. It applies to all recordings released since Jan. 1, 1978. Congress decided 35 years is enough time for a label to benefit from any riches a song has produced.” Wonder how that’ll play out.
