I Can't Get No, Free Rolling Stones Music...

Here is a legal question for everyone out there.

Everyone knows about the RIAA and its attempts to crack down on illegal music downloading and the like. While most everyone understand the argument in legal principle, some must admit to the age of the songs being downloaded. My question is this: at what point do you think music copyrights should expire? For example, the Rolling Stones hit their high point in the 60s and 70s, well before I was born (they formed in 1962!). Do you believe it is fair that they are selling a 2-disc cd of greatest hits for $25 when they have been making money off of the songs since the 1960s? Should they hold the copyrights forever? Do you think they should become public domain as far as using them and downloading them?

And whatever your answer is, please explain. I'm really curious to hear some intelligent answers.

I'm getting closer to that Free Ipod. If those of you who have put in your e-mail but haven't complete an offer wouldn't mind helping me out that would rock! And anyone else who wants to get in on the fun can jump in too. Here is my referral link (you have to use it for me to get credit)
