It is my personal belief that in many fields patents last too long already. Copyrights are just beyond insane. I like the idea of initial automatic copyright (like it currently is); though I think the duration on that might be better as 5 or 10 years. Lets go with 10 years for the first initial, automatic copyright, just as a starting point. Also add in one additional year to allow for paperwork filing; so 11 years. Past that point in time I'd like to see a requirement for continued registration (and a filing fee that increases exponentially); I also would like compulsory rates per type of work. Those should be set by the library of congress (and contestable by lawsuit). The compulsory rate also requires furnishing, for a reasonable fee, a unit of the work that is unencumbered by technological restrictions preventing the study and modification of the work in question.
