Copyright duration was originally 14 years, non-transferrable, with 1 renewal if and only if the author is still alive on the expiration date. There's no reason for it to be longer than that. It should be the shortest duration possible that still provides an incentive to create.


to add to this, copyrights that remain in limbo because the original company dies. where no one can claim the copyright but it's still valid because it was never sold.

and let's not forget youtube and it's ridiculous copyright strikes it loves to do.

the entire system needs to be reevaluated.
