It depends on the laws of the country, whether the copyright is owned by an individual or an organisation, and when the work was created. But for an individaul, it's typically 50 or 70 years after death for contemporary works. For a company, I believe it was set to 95 years in the US by the Micky Mouse Protection Act.

It's well known that the argument about continued income for old artists is bogus, just like all other arguments put for by the copyright lobyists. But that doesn't matter. We can't let real facts and evidence get in the way of their profits.

after creation i'll think you'll find…. or they wouldn't be able to say artists are going poor in old age as their copyright runs out, which is their main argument to increase it.

Would be nice if thepiratebay took that ecard and substituted some stuff and made it their ecard, bet it would be much more popular and well received.

I know I for one would appreciate it more :)

“May the Joyful Sound of Music Always be a Part of Your Holidays”

… As long as our corporate executives get paid as much as they want. Otherwise, you won’t be able to afford to celebrate any holidays after our lawyers get done with you.

Nah, look at the bottom, used with permission. Although that would have been funny as hell.

#2 has it spot on though.. just feels.. dirty. “Merry Christmas, and we’re still watching you.”

“May the joyful sound of music always be a part of your holidays.”
Of course, the more appropriate message is, "the MAFIAA is watching you (to ensure that you don't do anything with our music that we don't approve of)…"

The song was created in 1955 and so is 3 years outside the 50 year deadline when music becomes public domain. Ironically they (or maybe IFPI) want to raise this to something like 75 or 95 years, which would mean it would be against the law.

A group of people should take baseball bats and bash everyone at RIAA HQ to a pulp…
that would be a better Christmas gift than "a mass downloading access to all copyright materials".

Starting with chief pig Cary Sherman of course… this man has done more for music than the Boston strangler for women.
(Some of you will get that ;) )

Either way, when the number of words in your copyright list is greater than your message, something is wrong.
