Why should you? Human culture seems to work better if you don't, for one, moreover property rights over something infinitely reproducible in principle, are a lot more tenuous than property rights based on physical possession. For the former you need consensus and consent at a societal level, and a legal system, to enforce the right. For the latter you just have to hold on to the thing.
So, let us know how you're going to justify the infinite-copyright meme you like to trot out at every opportunity, both morally and pragmatically. Explain how such a regime is fairer to everyone involved, and results in better cultural outcomes.
Because, you do cheerlead for longer copyright terms a lot. Which is fine (though obv I really disagree). But I've never seen you actually back it up.
