That’d probably work with music. But it’d be a disaster for authors. Often it takes more than a decade to go from book to movie, for example. I think copyright should be much shorter, but I’m not sure it’d be right to have a bunch of knock off Harry Potter books, movies, and merch as soon as 2007. Tolkien is the counter example. There’s no reason we should be protecting his work still today, 50 years after his death. They should be public domain by now.
