Terrible.
Almost as bad as IP firms stripping the whole point of copyright by lobbying to change copyright terms to forever.
Which hasn’t happened in the UK.
Lobbying to change the copyright to forever is certainly happening in the UK.
And the current 50 or 70 years is def a move towards it from the original 14 to 21 years created in 1710 when copyright was first created in the UK.
So yes it is. We are just a slower change then the US
