I can live with semi-infinite copyright terms for non-encrypted IP IFF the copyright owner is required to periodically re-register the copyrighted items with the copyright office or lose the copyright. Why registration? Because if the copyright owner gets to rely on the legal system to protect its rights, the rest of us should be able to find out what rights are being protected. Why exclude encrypted IP? Because IP owners should get only one bite at the apple. Alternatively, the registration should have the plain text, to be made public when/if the registrant decides that registration is no longer worth the trouble.
