I think music has different value over time than software.  Over time music
becomes classic but never old, the software however gets old fast so there's
really no point of protecting rights of a software that is more than 15 years
old.  The owner probably couldn't care less. (Note: Mac developers seem to value
their old software more than PC developers)
