So Disney, The Beatles, The Stones (etc) could all afford to stay copyrighted indefinitely, but all my content would enter into public domain (and exploitable by megacorps) after 10 years?
I don't disagree that there are existing issues, but I think you'd just be introducing more.
- Something1234 7y agoThe financial cost should be exponential in nature with no die off. Maybe the first couple would be affordable like 40 years worth. initial - $ 0 10 year renewal - $ 50 20 year renewal - $ 500 30 year renewal - $ 5,000 40 year renewal - $ 500,000 50 year renewal - $ 5,000,000 60 year renewal - $50,000,000 n year renewal - a_{n-1} * 10 Note all of those numbers should be inflation adjusted as needed. Especially considering that most money is made in the first couple of years. Maybe treat characters and franchises as trademarks instead too. Make it a use it or lose it after the copyright expires.
