that you don’t like, for a limited time. I’m thinking of Pepe the frog...Who’s creator didn’t seem to appreciate his use everywhere but certain policial stripes.
You can make your work free to use as an option.
For me the main problem with copyright is it’s very very long duration (70 years after the creators desth I think) I think having to register a work after x years (20 ?) to protect it longer would make a lot more sense.
what do you do when your creation is used in way you don’t like.
- lucb1e 7y ago> having to register a work after x years (20 ?) to protect it longer I wouldn't be in favor of that because every company would just do so and we'd be in a position not dissimilar from today, but if this is what we can get everyone behind as a first step, then I'm agreed. Anything shorter than the current system (indeed 70 years after the author's death) makes more sense than the current system.
