"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Yep. Some woman copyrighted it back a long time ago (I was told, atleast it was a woman) and ever since it has been under copyright. Hence why in every movie, you never see that song sung, but always a variation, or something entirely different.

The problem is that much of the population has been brainwashed into thinking "intellectual property good" without actually understanding what copyrights really are and how they affect them. So they just let laws like this pass with complete non-understanding of what the consequences will be. And this is what happens.

Australia has reaped what its people have sown. Not a very nice harvest.

that would be Franklin Delano Roosevelt's government, as he was the guy in charge when the song was copyrighted for a hundred years.

The purpose of copyright is to promote the arts and sciences, not to secure profit.  Copyright for longer than the life of the author is ludicrous IMHO. :sigh:

Public uprising?
If they made voting uncompulsary in Australia I'd bet a great vast of John Howards stupidity votes would be cast down due to laziness. Then again, would anyone bother to vote?
