You could argue like Travis and Noel Gallagher do that you and your songs are to some extent public property as soon as they leave your lips. But to all practical purposes, I think there should be a sliding scale from fifty years old so that songs gradually become legally public property, while artists receive a slowly decreasing stream of revenue. After, say 70 years, artists no longer receive income but retain all credit. The music industry is beating out a path for all kinds of digital intellectual rights across media right now. There's a lot of hurt and misunderstanding.
