Invention Will Strike a Chord With Musicians
Digital software and hardware being developed in conjunction with the University of Adelaide is set to revolutionise the music industry around the world.
"We have all the ingredients in Adelaide to create a world-class digital music reader -- we just need to find the right hardware manufacturing partner," says BTM Innovation managing director Peter Grimshaw.

The 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act, a.k.a. the "Mickey Mouse Protection Act", added 20 years for works as old as 1923, resulting in many works being under copyright for the life of the author plus 70 years. Corporate welfare leading towards an ideal of perpetual copyright....
(Chart by Tom W. Bell via Wikipedia, assuming works are created 35 years before the author's death.)... federal legislation has steadily increased the term of copyright, the subject matter covered by copyright, and the remedies for infringement of copyright. Even the Copyright Act itself has expanded over the years. The evidence suggests that federal lawmakers favor expanding the rights of copyright owners over all else--including the public interest.
