Old Copyrights

It is hard to think that because of copyright extensions that many, old, less famous works will most likely be lost. Since the older works are protected people can’t get them for free, and because of that people won’t be as willing to get them, or won’t be able to reproduce them so the public can have them. This is because if someone or a company wanted to reproduce older works that are protected, they would have to contact the copyright owner, but since the works are older and less famous the owner will be hard to find (Lessig 221). Hopefully these works will be able to be found again.
