Thinking about it logically, it would be quite silly if it were true.
When it comes to copyright law, the sad fact is that it behaves extremely *illogically*. So “that would be illogical if it behaved that way” is, if anything, a hint that it may indeed behave that way :-)
We have to deal with the law as it is, and copyright law is not logical. Expecting it to be logical is going to lead to delusion about how the law actually is.
Fair point. The never ending copyright extensions spring to mind. One cannot underestimate the problems caused by greed. :/
