You don't know when copyright will expire?
Read the article, it gives you a good information.
http://inventors.abo.../expiration.htm
It lasts for the life of author plus 70 years.
Notch was born in 1979 and Minecraft was published in 2009. Given an average life expectancy of 81.5 years in Sweden.
I can calculate this.
81.5 - 33 = 48.5
70 years after the death of author plus 48.5 years = 118.5 years. Rounding, it's 119.
Theoretically, Minecraft remains copyrighted for 119 years, assuming that Notch follows the average lifespan of 81.5 years.
Here I come, 2132!
Now, if only there's a way to live that long.
No games can stay pay-to-play forever. Minecraft will eventually follow that fate.
Do you have proof of that? At least 2 to 3 million of the PC users are not little kids. Probably more.
A. We would have little kid (i'm talking <9) galore spamming how happy they are that they can play Minecraft after months of begging the mothers with no avail. Then those little kids get banned from the server. They would then go make another account because it is free. Rinse repeat
B. Trolls galore. No explaining needed
C. Mojang make their living off of Minecraft would you really want to take that away?
Didn't you all see this?
....I guess that would work. But still. 1/9th is not MOST.
(p.s. visit my dragon)
...You ask me to visit your dragon literally 5 minutes after I visit it....
1) Official servers are necessary
2) What exactly to people pay for? Blocks? Like, you can pay $.50 to get 6 stacks of cobblestone or $3 for a stack of iron ore? That just seems kinda really silly.

Second= That all F2Ps are losers and griefers and is not true.
Third= some companys go F2P because it makes MONAI and MONAI is good.
Fourth= Whitelist
Fifth= Wan't mojang to get MONAI? when being F2P?
Sell cosmetic items in a store or something, like hats or little stuffs, (like server hosting,((minecraft realms))
Add premium= Allows for some stuff that you get when you buy something from the store, (only handy things that don't effect the game) (so no GET A DIAMOND PICKAXE FOR FREE ON SPAWN!!!11!!!eleven!!!)
Like when Tf2 prem gives you 300 backpack slots and ability to trade your items.
Six= When it maybe goes F2P you aren't ''cheated of your money'' and if your annoyed. deal with it, you could play the game for 10,15,20 depending on the date. till the day it became F2P
That seems to be a popular response.
I could put something clever here... but i decided not to...
im guessing you don't actually have minecraft or something and you wanted it bad... ok lets make a situation here... you buy a really popular game for 30 bucks... then it goes free to play, there are more trolls and hackers in servers that cant go white list like game hubs, you pay 30 dollars for what everyone else gets for free, mojang will probably get ALLOT of hate, the community gets destroyed, and minecraft goes from being the most popular game out there to being the worst nightmare of all gamers, mojang is not going to ruin minecraft for some greedy losers
