Hetan ShahWhen the copyright of Peter Pan ran out, Great Ormond Street hospital was given a perpetual right to future royalties. What if we started doing this for other works? Artists could agree to opt into this. It could be a great income stream for the arts. Worth a think www.thetimes.com/article/28cf...
i like how this poster immediately concedes that their grandparents were not old enough to work 100 years ago. nobody really understands generations!

People don’t understand maths, which makes them dysfunctionally risk averse but also: this is a wildly different question in the US than the UK with these amounts of money! In the UK this is close to my annual salary. In the US this would only be £37k *and* my annual salary might be £96k.
