Every time the MPAA/RIAA got its way. Simply saying stop will not inhibit them. They see no downside in continuous meddling. Let's introduce that downside and start a discussion on the duration of those rights. For pharmaceuticals it is only 12 years. The duration of those rights is supposed to be a compromise between creator's and public interest. With 70 years that compromise is completely out of kilter.
