Copyright needs to be reimagined. There should be different rules for "originators", legal owners, and legal entities. When the controlling legal rights of a work are separated from an originator, the speed to public domain should be accelerated. In this system: - An originator is the person who creates the work, and owns the work by default. - A legal owner is a person who buys the rights to a work. - A legal entity is any legal construct meant to represent a person or multiple people. Time to public domain would be faster if a company outright buys the controlling legal rights to a work. vs. Time to public domain would be slower if a company licenses the work from an originator. Works with no originator enter the public domain on the fastest track. Previous discussion of this idea: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37899357 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37899357
