Thread:Suggestion for substantive change (2)

Alison,

I suggest the following revision with a minor adjustment to your improvement:


 * The Berne Convention recommend that the duration of copyright be at least life plus 50 years. Countries may have shorter or longer durations.
 * Most Berne Convention signatory countries have a copyright duration of life plus 50 years.
 * Some countries have adopted longer durations: e.g., life plus 70 years for the United States of America and member states of the European Union.
 * A few countries have a copyright duration shorter than 50 years.

I prefer not to introduce TRIPs / WTO into this conversation -- it complicates issues. The Berne Convention is more relevant here as the foundation for duration.

I also added the missing link to WP copyright duration.
