When we talk about policies for things like copyright we must always acknowledge this problem. Copyright is a way to fund art and in some ways it's been remarkably successful at that. But it was conceived as an intentional abridgement of our natural freedom to share, in order to reward creators. If we can keep it like that, it doesn't need to be ludicrously long term like it is today. And infringement absolutely should not be a criminal act like it is in some countries or trade pacts.
