Basically I agree with you almost all the way, mainly because this is a can of worms where sooner or later others will try to sneak their "art" into these laws too and nobody knows where to draw a line that will STAND. Yet I think some of your examples are a bit far-fetched or even off-target, such as destruction (on purpose or not) or loss. Because - no sale, no royalties due. It's as simple as that. And if an object remains unsold for generations (whichever way this occurs) then it's no royalty-inducing sale either. As for rare or one-off classic cars - fair point, but is this ever enforceable on a wider level? Not nearly all of these are linked to any single designer who would qualify as an artist who would be entitled to royalties in the sense of the EU Directive, for example. -

I imagine that AOL's biggest problem with keeping dial-up services going is finding a supplier of the dial-up modem chipsets to replace that aging infrastructure. Companies that made those stopped making them a long time ago. Any stocks of them have to be depleted or deleted by now. On top of that, not many companies make a dial-up modem for today's modern PC architecture, likely due to the same problem. I can see it now... some doomsday Windows 95 user on a 30 year old PC is now upset that he can't log into his alt.talk. newsgroups. -
Great music on all three. 'Reckoning' is a very special album -

I still think this is really messed up. I see that glasswares and ceramics are on the list of "artworks" that fall under this. So when someone drops this glassware/ceramic and it smashes to bits, is the owner now liable for lost resale value? If a buyer of artworks has a house fire and the works of art are destroyed, will his insurance have to send money to the artists to compensate them for lost resale revenue? If an art buyer purposefully destroys art, can they be sued for loss of income? The list of potential problems goes on & on. And why limit "art" to these things alone? That is the craziest thing here. I see the legal spin revolves around copies made in limited copies. There are a lot of cars that fall into that category. I imagine that someone that owns a super rare Ferrari or Lambo would be a bit upset if they had to pay an extra fee when buying that rare car on the secondary market.
