| As reported yesterday, there was an ad in the FT listing 4,000
| musicians who supported retrospective term extension. If you read
| the list, you'll see that at least some of these artists are apparently
| dead (e.g. Lonnie Donegan, died 4th November 2002; Freddie Garrity, died
| 20th May 2006). I take it the ability of these dead authors to sign a
| petition asking for their copyright terms to be extended can only
| mean that even after death, term extension continues to inspire.
