Yeah this made me really disappointed as well. We&#x27;ve probably already lost so many works because the original distributors have long gone out of business and we&#x27;re not legally allowed to preserve them. Not to mention that most of the original authors are dead so it&#x27;s not like this is for their benefit. Such onerous terms are only there for the benefit of bloated megacorps. Aaron&#x27;s case is also relevant to how our government views the matter: the prosecutor wanted to use him as an example even though JSTOR only cared about getting the articles back and it also made up a ridiculous sum for their monetary losses. These copyright terms are not built for the good of society.
