[Consortium] Sounds Expo TODO list?

According to this article:

http://www.artquest.org.uk/artlaw/articles/thelenghtofcopyright.htm

in the UK it's author's death plus seventy years, so if the 1925 date 
is correct then everything he wrote went into the public domain in 
1995. Apparently it used to be death plus fifty, but it was extended 
by the EU to harmonise with German law.

So that means if I release a piece of music today and I live to be 
100, it will enter the public domain in the year 2142. I expect I'll 
have milked every last eurocent from the composition by then...  

Cheers
