Even better, if we can get speculative patents now on all sorts of future technology that will take at least 20 years to develop later, the patents will all be expired by the time the tech is ready.

The fact that people can speculatively patent anything to begin with is a glaring sign something is severely broken. (Do a patent database search for Internet and Video. Note how many and how vague they are and how far the dates predate Youtube.)
