The Issue
Creative work is real property
Why should a home or business be inherited — but not a book, song, or film?
As it stands, U.S. copyright law recognizes the value of intellectual property — but only temporarily. After a fixed period, the law allows these works to fall into the public domain, stripping heirs of legal rights and financial benefit.
Fans and creators alike deserve to see these legacies protected forever. This must change.
Property is property
A house, a business, a piece of land — all pass to the next generation. A song, a novel, or a film should be no different.
Legacies, not expirations
When a copyright expires, families lose both the legal rights and the financial benefit of work their loved ones created.
Protected forever
We are calling for perpetual copyright — so a creator’s legacy stays with them, and with their heirs, for good.
Let’s stand together for creators’ rights
Sign the petition to help us safeguard legacies and reclaim intellectual property. We appreciate your time, and feel proud of everyone who stays concerned about the rights of creators.
