The copyright term extension debate is getting even murkier. The BBC reports:
- The Featured Artists Coalition, a new pressure group with members including a number of prominent musicians has said that the current 95 year proposal will be bad for performers and fans. They back a term extension, but call for the copyright to revert to the artist after 50 years
- The UK voted against the European Commission's 95 year proposal on Friday in Brussels. The UK wants to see the extension limited to 70 years.

In North American, nobody really knows who the session musicians were on older recordings. This is a problem both for pop and serious music. I would be astonished if it were not a problem in Europe as well.
