Vestiti “protetti” da copyright

Secondo quanto affermato dalla CNN, pare che si stia lavorando all’estensione della protezione del copyright agli abiti.

Dalla TFA “The Freedom Association” (un nome, un ossimoro) emerge quanto segue:

To help protect independent designers against copycats, several members of Congress have proposed legislation — the Design Piracy Prohibition Act — that would extend copyright laws to clothing. Nine Senators have introduced a sister bill, which insiders on the Hill say should pass by late this year. If so, fashion firms would be able to register their designs with the U.S. Copyright Office for about $100 each. The law would protect the patterns for three years.

L’unico lato positivo: il copyright vale soltanto 3 anni.
Beati i tempi in cui si riteneva che la RIAA fosse troppo invadente…
