With day-light saving in the news I thought http://tf.nist.gov/general/faq.htm would produce some interest. Perhaps it would be unfair, but what if I suggested that the US-Aust FTA might mean that Australia will follow the US and extend DST just as the Copyright Act in particular the number of years before creations return to the community has been extended from 70 to 90 years. Someone said if drug companies who spend hundreds of millions developing drugs only get twenty years (patent period) to recover their money why are copyright holders so special?
