Does anyone have a link to (or can write) a good explanation of the benefits of things entering the public domain? Don&#x27;t get me wrong, I&#x27;m all for it. I think lobbying to extend copyright terms is disingenuous. But I don&#x27;t have a great argument for why we should want things to enter the public domain other than &quot;your local theater can show it for free&quot; , which the article noted. People seem to already be sharing things easily enough.
