We can remove the arbitrary-but-keeps-getting-extended copyright length limit, and just make the payments scale up exponentially the longer you hold on to the copyright. Disney gets Mickey Mouse as long as it wants, so long as it feels the economic value is large enough.
We can even sell Disney on this by making it easier for them to keep Mickey Mouse under copyright for longer. I mean, they're going to keep it for a long time anyways, but this lets them do so cheaply and with little lobbying over the next ~30 years (depending on how the USG negotiates things). In return, we get sane copyright rules for the rest of the content that isn't that valuable.
