"Just under four years ago, Techdirt reported that Jamaica was planning
something extremely foolish: a retroactive extension to its copyright
term. As that article noted, when the European Union did something
similar, the European Commission's own figures showed that the move
would cost the EU public around one billion Euros, and it was inevitable
that the Jamaican people would also lose out if the move went ahead."

Very disappointing.  Via glyn moody.
