They way companies get and keep patents and copyrights keeps changing. Why is Mickey Mouse still owned by Disney so many years later? How is it that Shell could even come to own a patent on lithium ion batteries? How do these pharmaceutical giants keep patents for drugs for decades before we finally see a generic form? Why did Apple get to brick Ipods/Iphones for people modifying their own property?
That's not how patent and copyright were intended to be used.
