I remember Glen Frey of the Eagles arguing this in front of Congress but I had no idea it passed.
This needs to become a revolution for workers. The architect that designed Glen Frey's mansion needs to terminate the copyright and take back ownership.
Taking back the rights doesn't take back the units.
The arch who designed Glen Frey's house can take back the rights to the plans, but can't take the house itself -- no more than Nickelback can demand the return of all 20 CDs sold in their lifetime even if they own the creative rights to the music on them.
The architect, though, can re-use those plans if Rick Astley wanted the identical mansion.
I would like all legal explanations to be explained in terms of nickelback sucking.
