We should be welcoming 2003 into the public domain. Most popular works from that year have made millions of dollars in profit, and are commonly cited as part of pop culture. There is no reason for us to continue placing these obscene restrictions on their distribution or derivative use.

More new media will be created every year than all of recorded human history. They copyright office will cave under this pressure. They'll either say none of it can by copyrighted, which will be complicated -- who wants to prove which parts were AI-assisted? More sensibly, they'll just contract the copyright TTL. That's easy to calculate. If this happens, it will have very interesting implications for Disney, Universal Music Group, et al.

- matheusmoreira 4y agoAbsolutely agree. 2003 was 20 years ago. More than enough time for creators to make their profits several times over.
