Tonight the stores close at 2200 hrs, it is now 2112 hrs, I am working through a stack of old books to determine their copyright status, and I still have a dozen or so to go.

Suddenly, I am stopped. Quick, I need a word to describe the phenomenon that certain parties want ever longer copyright terms and manage to convince bribeable* parliaments to extend terms before I can scan their works.

Copygreed

And I continue.
