	Copyright Term Extension Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The act was named after the late Congressman Sonny Bono (who was killed in a ski accident more than nine months before the act became law), who had favored this position as a songwriter and filmmaker even prior to his entry into politics.
		Opponents of the Bono Act consider the legislation to be little more than corporate welfare and have tried (but failed thus far) to challenge its constitutionality, claiming that such an act is not "necessary and proper" to accomplishing the Constitution's stated purpose of "promot[ing] the progress of science and useful arts".
		Oral arguments were heard by the U.S. Supreme Court on October 9, 2002, and on January 15, 2003 the court held the CTEA constitutional by a 7-2 decision.

	SONNY BONO - PRODUCER
		Far from being a joke, the Sonny Bono of the 1960s was a consummate producer, who was intimately involved in all areas of his and Cher's music, and that is where his primary strength had lain.
		Bono, while in the music business since the mid-'50s, had the fortune to serve as apprentice to wall-of-sound record producer Phil Spector in the early '60s, and it is obvious that it was from Spector that Bono learned most of the tricks of the trade.
		Bono himself was self-deprecating when it came to his musical achievements, and his autobiography reveals very little of the creative processes that went into the making of his records.
