Maybe the copyright laws need amendments, zum beispiel(that's "for example" in German, folks), each time an album or single is re-issued after its initial release, the copyright period starts again for that LP or single, or EP for that matter, and holds good for 50 years from the date of issue. So, if an album like Abbey Road(Beatles), first issued in 1969, the initial copyright would expire in 2019, but EMI re-issues it on 30th June, 1995, the copyright on that issue(obviously on CD, though could be vinyl as well as vinyl is still being pressed everywhere else but Australia/NZ) would hold until 30th June, 2045. Get the idea? Keep the copyright alive by reissuing the product!
