Disney & Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998

Mr. Kamboj presented his clinical research "Disney's Influence on the Enactment of the Copyright Term Extension Act ('CTEA'), as Well as the CTEA's Retrospective and Prospective Impact" at Harvard University’s HEAA Symposium.  Mr. Kamboj specifically addressed the following topics in his presentation.  The presentation elaborated upon The Walt Disney Company’s (Disney) specific influence in the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA) enactment as well as the CTEA’s retrospective and prospective impacts. The benefits and disadvantages of the CTEA were elaborated in significant detail, and were supported by objective research and in-depth interviews of influential artists and industry experts. Research conducted for this presentation demonstrated that Disney was the primary lobbying organization for the CTEA Bill, both within the U.S. House of Representative as well as within the U.S. Senate. Through multiple and significant lobbying efforts, Disney directly influenced the CTEA’s enactment. 

Mr. Kamboj presented his interviews of Hollywood entertainers, entertainment attorneys, music composers, publicists and an emerging artist providing evidence that neither awareness of the CTEA nor Copyright Law has had minimal to absolutely no direct influence in their respective creative endeavors, careers, their clients’ careers, or the bequeathment of real or intellectual property to their heirs. Furthermore, academic and interview research presented by Mr. Kamboj also indicated the motivations to create are varied, and cannot be uniformly categorized as those arising simply from the need for financial gain or, being primarily motivated by the transference ease of intellectual property rights to heirs or third parties.  In closing, Mr. Kamboj stated, given that copyright term length and other rationalizations have taken place with European Union copyright laws, and that Disney has already lobbied for prior copyright term length extension, it is unlikely that an additional copyright term length lobbying effort will be executed by Disney. Furthermore, should Disney pursue additional lobbying, its efforts will be met with significant opposition from both the current CTEA opponents and Congress. 

Mr. Kamboj’s research is frequently cited in legal and academic discussions regarding U.S. copyright law and Disney's controversial role in shaping it.  There were approximately 40 people in attendance.
