In their entirety? No of course not.
Certainly the duration is ridiculous beyond measure.
But the idea of having no protections for your own work seems barbaric. At least for work that requires "work" for lack of a better word.
I think the laze faire nature of online memes for instance makes sense in that space.
> Are they the best way to reward creation?
I think that providing a mechanism for people to share their work without losing control of it makes sense.
> Do they serve humanity well?
While I wouldn't attribute societies recent online boon to them. I do think that having protections of this kind are one of the reasons we have seen such a huge investment in the space.
Like the current internet or not the hundreds of billions or trillions pumped into it would be harder to stomach if the internet were the wild west some would like it to be.
