100 years? Seems hyperbolic.

And you don’t need to do anything at all; all of these books have been freely available on IRC for years.

Are you aware of how that case resolved?

[nvader → Zetice]

My recollection was that they reached a settlement, but I don't know for how much. https://abbasmedialaw.com/posts/copyright-netflix-reaches-se...

I found this chart interesting, and unexpectedly complicated: https://www.belmont.edu/legal/pdf/Public-Domain-Chart.pdf

Based on that I think a heuristic of 100 years is broadly correct.

No, it’s not broadly correct, because “when does copyright expire” has no relevance to “setting back the concept of human knowledge”.

Human knowledge remains entirely unaffected by this ruling.

are you not aware of how long copyright lasts now?

[Zetice → katbyte]

Yes, are you not aware of how pirating works?
