Mostly agree. You are missing the economic jargon as to why copyright is bad (it causes deadweight loss to society by arbitrarily pricing above marginal cost) and why it might be good (maybe more creative work production because profits from works are higher). From the economics springs the right tjing to do: minimize deadweight loss, which means always eyeing ways to reduce copyright while maintaining output. From that i would argue i stead ofa fixed term makerenewal cost exponential by term. I thibking setting term to 10 years, giving first term for free then swt renewal at 100^n for each additional n terms would do the trick and cause nearly all works to enter public domain after 1 or 2 terms and the enduri gly profitable stuff (i.e. mickey mouse type stuff) to be unprofitable to renew after 50 years or so, preserving the fantasy of a gargantuan paypff to stroke the egos of content creators.
