Phil Robinson Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I just had a nice healthy three-figure sale, which was very welcome, but looking at the details, I'm not sure I got a good deal: Industry sector: Media, design & publishing Start: 22 July 2015End: 22 July 3015 Is 1000 years now standard for business use?

spacecadet Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 There's the obvious, but what is it a misprint for? I think we should be told. Unless the licence details include something like "Digital usage includes archive rights for the lifetime of the universe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Perhaps it's going out on a space probe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 It's a photo of BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones using Google Glass - it's already out of date. Perhaps a museum archive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Robinson Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Make sure your write it into your will so your heirs can divide the booty in 3015 if the licence is renewed. I suspect the copyright might have run out before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to give this a thumb's down instead of the thumb's up I gave it because I wish you were wrong but sadly the way things are going... BTW, Good laugh today Phil on that millennium license. Certainly a world-record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
